hmm. so you trade 265% degradation of creation for 40% improvement of unlink?
thanks, Alex

Creating dirs with dir inode reservation is slower than normal ext4 as
predicted, because allocating
directory inodes in non-linear order will cause extra hard disk seeking and
block I/O. Creating
files with dir inode reservation is 13% faster than normal ext4. Unlink all the
directories and
files is 29.2% faster as expected.
When number of directories is increased, the performance improvement will be
more considerable. More
benchmark result will be posted here if necessary, because I need more time to
run more test cases.
