This text exists in the man page:

“Note that Btrfs subvolume mounts are handled internally in the kernel as bind
mounts (see btrfs-subvolume(8)), and thus, may get skipped if you have
also mounted the filesystem root itself. To counteract this, make your root
directory a Btrfs subvolume, too.”

That is for internal usage, so it's not really supported. :-)

locate needs 28 seconds? That's really, really slow unless you have thousands
of hits. It should be on the order of milliseconds. updatedb could very well
be in that range.
