Very well put, jak0lantash. However, I got the impression, that user experience is key here.
Together wit a chance in current snapshot policy, nickjames, it could make a significant difference over time. Let me recommend to choose different points in time for snapshots.

OP could also try with an SSD and compare the user experience, to try confirm if the issue is related to storage throughput and/or IOPS.
