Hi folks,

My laptop is a Core i3-2310M with 4 GB RAM, running BTRFS on a 1 TB HD.

I run Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal, kernel 3.5.0-19-generic 64-bit.

    Try 3.7. That's had some significant performance improvements. 3.5
is over 6 months old, which is a long time in btrfs development.

I'd like to emphasize this point. 3.7 has some _very_ significant performance
improvements for database workloads; you will _need_ to run at least a 3.7
kernel to have an acceptable run speed for that type of workload (at least
in my experience). Seriously.

Also, the nodatacow option Hugo mentioned will also help.

Regards,
Wade
