I'm not working directly on that feature, but I'm reworking the snapshot deletion process to make use of the metadata readahead. This should touch only very slightly the code that needs adjustment for sync snapshot deletion.
Another thing you could add while you fiddle with this interface would be the capability to trigger the deletion of several snapshots in one transaction. This would speed up the process if you want to delete hundreds or thousands of snapshots.
