A Patch That Can Make Btrfs 5~10% Faster

[ayumu]

If you're gonna do benchmarks, please include XFS, not just EXT4.

I think performance gains are almost as desparately needed as fsck because if BTRFS isn't at least as fast as ext4, I'll not use it, anyway.

I use it even though it's slower because I appreciate the functionality, especially checksumming and cloning. Cloning a VM, a DB or a sandbox in a second or two independent of size is nothing to sneeze at.

Then it will never be released, eternal vaporware.

Good open source follows the release early, release often philosophy, even during alpha testing. More people looking at the code is better.

It's idiocy like this that gave KDE4 its bad name.

And besides, Oracle isn't developing this for us hobbyists, it's mainly for their paying customers.
