Can confirm this issue happens every time when snap is auto-refreshing a
snap (possibly have to refresh multiple snap at the same time to trigger
the issue) in background. If you show tasks of the current "Doing"
changes, you will see it's downloading something, e.g.: `snap tasks 348`

There will be around 5MB/s of IO when snapd is downloading something,
whatever the download speed is. As the connection to Canonical's server
in China is poor, people can fell this IO lasting for a long time.

I guess now the question is, why there's this 5MB/s IO when snapd is
refreshing a snap?
