Yeah, I wasn't sure I'd be able to do the runs, but it was a rainy
afternoon and this was more fun than cleaning.  Really glad something
got in for rc1 either way.

I don't think the XFS numbers can be trusted too much since it was
basically bottlenecked behind that single pegged CPU.  It was bouncing
around and I couldn't quite track it down to a process name (or perf
profile).

The btrfs numbers were much more consistent, but your patch is still a
win over plain 4.2.
