Yes.  So far most of the issues are with the internal buffercache and I
suspect we could do better sizing decisions there.  If you can provide
some testing (xfs_repair -n should be enough) I'll happily send you
some RFC patches as soon as I get time for it.

In the meantime is there any chance you could send the output of

	xfs_repair -n -vv -m 1

for this filesystem?
