| Delayed allocation, support for extents, and the new online defragger, I expect, will be the biggest areas of performance improvement. Whether or not that'll fix metadata performance (i.e. what is likely the cause of firephoto's svn up or dpkg's stat "Reading Database..." flood) is unclear. Then again, to be fair, I've not felt any Linux filesystems that handle these cases well other than perhaps reiserfs3 (but that had a SEVERE cost of kernel latency for faster operations)
