I've tried this with a newly created snapshot that was very small, and it worked almost instantaneously:
[hritcu@detained common]$ time python2 -c "import snapshots; snapshots.Snapshots().remove_snapshot('20140622-181100-130')"
INFO: Command "find "/run/media/hritcu/MyBook/BackInTime/backintime/detained/hritcu/1/20140622-181100-130" -type d -exec chmod u+wx "{}" +" returns 0
INFO: Command "rm -rf "/run/media/hritcu/MyBook/BackInTime/backintime/detained/hritcu/1/20140622-181100-130"" returns 0
python2 -c 0.46s user 5.32s system 75% cpu 7.707 total
[hritcu@detained common]$

I'll try to reproduce the original circumstances when the problem was occurring, in which I forgot to exclude 100GB of new data, which generated a very large snapshot.
