Looking at your numbers more closely, I bit you are parsing the
extended attributes each time you need to adjust the project quota for
the file, correct?  I suspect that if you cache the project ID in the
in-memory struct ext4_inode_info, the performance difference between
using an extended attribute versus an internal inode field will be
negligible.  The only difference would be a tiny amount of CPU time
when you first create the inode, and when you read the inode from the
inode table block on disk, since the project ID will under normal
circumstances never or hardly ever change.
