Testing 4.0 at the moment has reminded me that new installs of Qubes on a USB are super fast. However, as time goes on they slow down, eventually becoming so laggy they're almost unusable. Updating a vm can take 30 mins, and there are long 30 second freezes asfter starting a VM where nothing is available. I'm pretty sure this is due to the USB stick i/o but I'd love to hear a technical explanation for it.

marmarek added a commit to QubesOS/qubes-core-admin-linux that referenced this issue Sep 10, 2019
Those files may easily accumulate in large quantities, to the point
where just listing the /etc/lvm/archive directory takes a long time.
This affects every lvm command call, so every VM start/stop.
Those archive files are rarely useful, as Qubes do multiple LVM
operations at each VM startup, so older data is really out of date very
quickly.

Automatically remove files in /etc/lvm/archive older than one day.

Fixes QubesOS/qubes-issues#4927
Fixes QubesOS/qubes-issues#2963
