I've carried out cursory build and test of this series.  I'm concerned that
my testing (and anyone else's testing) has not addressed performance hits 
being introduced with crc on metadata.  What level of testing have you done,
and can you recommend some testing that goes beyond the QA suite that we
have in place.  I did run the btree test harness on that earlier series, but it
appeared to me that that was a go/no-go test and unless I'm missing something,
I've not seen tests that might help quantify performance hits.



Thanks,
