I don't know how you created the files, so my first hunch is to say that
the busy disk may have been from file activity still being written to disk.
 The history action will increase the amount of disk work in any case, so
it is possible.

I have never tried to create snapshots from a PFS marked 'nohistory', but
the quick recovery should work in either case.
