Well, further tests show that it behaves very unstable:

       3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+         3.4.0-rc2-btrfs5+  
------------------------  ------------------------  
                   69.88       +16.4%        81.31  bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-10dd-1-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
                   71.09        +1.4%        72.05  bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-10dd-2-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
                   72.60        -1.7%        71.38  bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-10dd-3-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
                   90.54        -0.9%        89.74  bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-1dd-1-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
                   89.17       -90.2%     ==> 8.71  bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-1dd-2-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
               ==> 14.96      +495.3%        89.06  bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-1dd-3-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
                  408.23        +1.0%       412.26  TOTAL write_bw

Where the -btrfs5 kernel has one more patch to remove the write plug.

Thanks,
