The code in this PR is written by @karalabe (I just moved a chunk of code a bit north)
When we're generating the snapshot, we're also processing blocks. In case we're importing multiple blocks (catching up), this adds a penalty, since there are background processes which are reading a lot from disk, all the while we're trying to catch up.
This PR instead makes it so that if the previous generation-effort ended within 450ms, then it won't start anew.
