Subject: README: document impact of balance + quota groups
References: fate#325529 jsc#SLE-3188

The combination of balance and quota groups as the number of references
to extents rises (either via snapshots, dedupe, or reflink copies) can
be extreme.

The file system performs quota group accounting for every extent relocated
and the result can be the appearance of stalled system as the
transaction commit can take a very long time.

 The balance command uses filters to do the work in smaller batches.
 
+The impact with quota groups enabled can be extreme.  The balance operation
+performs quota group accounting for every extent being relocated, which can
+have the impact of stalling the file system for an extended period of time.

 __Expected result:__ If possible all the underused chunks are removed, the
 value of `total` in output of `btrfs fi df /path` should be lower than before.
