For security reasons I recently encrypted some of my ZFS home server (including the OS SSD). Throughput took a severe hit, because the CPU (Pentium G630) does not support AES-NI. However, day-to-day operations (also CPU load over time) remain virtually unchanged. Encryption is unrelated to any snapshotting activity. Sounds like you may have additional hooks in place. ZFS by itself does not integrate in any way with package management or anything else, really.
