I don't have hard numbers, but anecdotally my FUSE version is quite 
a bit less performant.  That's no criticism of FUSE - I just haven't
put the time into optimizing and adding various caches.

Sure, though this FS won't see the same kind of use as ext2.  Most users
would just mount it, copy a bunch of files, then unmount it, and if that
works then great.

It has at least seen some testing with fsx, though I had to turn off most 
of the checks since growing truncate is still unimplemented.
