But, the async worker threads do randomize the IO somewhat because the IO goes from pdflush -> one worker thread per CPU -> submit_bio. So, maybe that 3rd thread is more than the drive can handle? btrfsck tells me the total size of the btree is only 20MB larger with checksumming on. > > Btrfs no duplication 76.83 MB/s > > Btrfs no dup no csum no inline 76.85 MB/s > > But without duplication they are basically free here at least > in IO rate.
