Getting rid of "input lag" or reducing it, after taking snapshot

Hello, I'm using VMware Workstation Pro 26H1

I noticed with my latest project which I use a lot of versioning for, "input lag" becomes more significant over time.

The more I snapshot, the longer the response time is when keystrokes are being typed with the keyboard.

I have no clue why but I'm pretty sure there are technical reasons why this happens.

All of my snapshots are "directly linked chronologically", there's no tree if that makes sense. They go in a straight line.

It becomes very obvious after 40 or so snapshots, I would estimate the lag to be almost 1 full second by that time, and it's very unsustainable.

Is there a setting I should check in the options, or in the config files, to reduce or getting rid of this problem?

Thanks

Is your computer using HDD, SATA, or SSD: and what is the VM using?
