I'll do more runs Monday, but I was able to grab a perf profile of the
pegged XFS CPU. It was just the writeback worker thread, and it
hit btrfs differently because we defer more of this stuff to endio
workers, effectively spreading it out over more CPUs.
With 4 mount points intead of 2, XFS goes from 140K files/sec to 250K.
Here's one of the profiles, but it bounced around a lot so I wouldn't
use this to actually tune anything:
