I've just had very poor performance on BTRFS filesystems mounted with the 
"discard" option using a 120G Intel SSD known as "INTEL SSDSC2CT12 300i".  
Turning off the discard option at the suggestion of a member of the BTRFS list 
improved performance by more than a factor of 8!

Apparently the problem is that TRIM is a non-queuing command so it blocks 
everything else.
