Are VM snapshot operations affected by VM I/O shares?

This question is interesting in the context of multi-tenancy on a vSphere cluster.  What would prevent one user from negatively affecting I/O performance of the entire cluster by triggering large snapshot merges on a VM?

Thanks,

P.

SIOC (Storage IO Control) is what you would enable to prevent this from becoming a problem.
