It seems the benchmark was done over half year ago. It's questionable how
relevant today the performance comparison is with actively developed file
systems ...
I ran compilebench on kernel 2.6.26 with freshly formatted volumes.
The behavior of NILFS2 was interesting.
Its peformance rapidly degrades to the lowest ever measured level
(< 1 MB/s) but after a while it recovers and gives consistent numbers.
However it's still very far from the current unstable btrfs performance.
The results are reproducible.
