OMG snaps

[Don B. Cilly]

I did.
With snaps, it took some 27 seconds to boot.
Removed snaps:

Rebooted. Some 26 seconds.
Rebooted again. Some 27.
Neon booted in roughly 24.

From what I can see: snaps impact on boot times: ~0.
Snaps impact on filesystems: horrible, easily fixed.
I retract - until proven wrong - my OP.
