As I said - I run Btrfs on multiple devices for years and am very happy with the results.
Sadly, I wasn't smart enough in the moment to record the Btrfs processes which I saw via htop/ps ax and it would take too much time to replicate the setup with Btrfs for another test.
I was hoping to find someone who knows enough of Btrfs and sd cards to come up with a plausible explanation or a very informed guess.
Could you elaborate where and how you had better results for Btrfs? Did you refer to Btrfs on sd cards? Did you experience better results in regard to performance from Btrfs on sd cards compared to ext4 or exfat?
It might of had a snapshot being created. If you have snapper or similar running, it will make the snapshot of the system prior actual install. This could be, not saying it is, what the issue is.
Also I have personally found that SD cards can actually be inhibited by USB controllers that the computer is using. I have a older computer with 1 USB 3,0 slot and the rest are 2.0. Which, incidentally, uses the 2.0 controller as it is based on the 2.0 USB technology.
I am pretty sure snapshots were not involved. I run 'vanilla' Debian 12 and just choose Btrfs instead of ext4 for /. AFAIK nothing is set up to create snapshots. Still, thank you very much for this idea, could have been a valid point.
I personally wouldn't use either on an SD card, just use exFAT, it's supported by literally everything and it's good enough
