ESXi 6.7 creating a snapshot taking a long time

Hello all,

I am having an issue with snapshots on one of my servers are taking a very long time to create.

The server is a PowerEdge R540, 10 CPUs x Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4210 CPU @ 2.20GHz, 64 GB RAM.

I am taking a snapshot of a Windows 2016  guest and it's taking about two hours to complete.

Same setup on three other hosts not as robust as this one took a few minutes with the "Snapshot the virtual machine's memory" option selected.

I read a post suggesting to remove to have that option removed. Is there any reason to be concerned performing the process that way?

So I'm not sure what are the possible reasons causing this to take place to begin with.

Any guidance will be appreciated in advance!
