I notice you use a bleeding-edge unstable kernel, with a whole new
scheduler. I tried your benchmark on a machine running a known stable
kernel (2.6.20.17) and the slowdown is similar in xfs and other fs.
As a side note, I personnally wouldn't choose xfs for desktop users home
directories (email,web, etc) because it's much better at pure
throughput and quite slower at IOPS than other FSes. Reiserfs is the
best of the common FSes for this.
I'm quite surprised that apparently your production system is running
a prerelease kernel. Why?
