Subjectbtrfs: 21 minutes to read 1.2M file directory
I have a directory with 1.2M files in it, which makes readdir very slow
on btrfs with cold caches (although it's reasonably fast with hot caches
as in the first example below):

% time find /btr/foo > /btr/foo.list
find /btr/foo > /btr/foo.list 4.10s user 7.97s system 36% cpu 33.275 total
% head /btr/foo.list
/btr/foo

Interestingly, while readdir is busy I'm only seeing IO on sdb even
though the btrfs is on 3 targets:

Label: btr uuid: 1271de53-b3d2-4d68-9d48-b19487e1c982
Total devices 3 FS bytes used 555.13GB
devid 1 size 18.65GB used 18.64GB path /dev/sda2
devid 3 size 512.00GB used 44.13GB path /dev/sdc1
devid 2 size 512.00GB used 511.76GB path /dev/sdb1

"iostat -k 1 | grep sdb" tells me:

Device: tps kB_read/s kB_wrtn/s kB_read kB_wrtn

sdb 173.00 692.00 0.00 692 0
sdb 185.00 740.00 0.00 740 0
sdb 198.00 792.00 0.00 792 0
sdb 177.00 712.00 0.00 712 0

I updated to a recent git and it's still slow (my test hasn't completed
yet 19 minutes in):

Linux pyron 2.6.37-rc6-11882-g55ec86f #72 SMP Mon Dec 20 13:34:38 PST 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The devices are:

The host is a "Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 930 @2.80GHz" with 12GB RAM.

Thanks,
