Hi, Yep, it's a good question. Btrfs is slower on some things and faster on others. It's tedious to do good benchmarking, not least of which is synthetic benchmarks are only helpful if they truly approximate your workload.
One of the optional features being considered in the proposal is compression for select directories. This reduces the amount of reads and writes, which reduces latencies, and can sometimes improve performance. It'll also increase flash lifespan due to less write amplification. The main goal is to make sure most folks don't notice the change, and don't have to learn a bunch of new commands or start doing strange rituals to hand hold the file system. And not expect people to become file system experts to benefit from some useful features. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list -- xfce@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to xfce-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/xfce@lists.fedoraproject.org
