I ran compilebench on kernel 2.6.26 with freshly formatted volumes. The behavior of NILFS2 was interesting. Its peformance rapidly degrades to the lowest ever measured level (< 1 MB/s) but after a while it recovers and gives consistent numbers. However it's still very far from the current unstable btrfs performance. The results are reproducible.
