Bug Description
I sometimes issue a "snap refresh" to force some applications to update when I know there happen to be updates. When I start a "snap refresh" within moments my laptop becomes almost completely unusable. Videos playing or video meetings will break up, dropping to a low frame rate and have choppy audio.
This is consistent across different snaps, and doesn't seem dependent on how many I have installed. For example, just now I refreshed and had only 5 snaps updating. I have a ThinkPad T450 with i7 CPU and 16GB RAM. It's got a relatively new, relatively fast SSD, but really doesn't feel like it.
Attached is the output of "snap change 1301" - the most recent refresh.
