You seem to have done a lot of benchmarks, but did you also do stress testing?

While a performance issue wouldn't be good, corrupting someone's file system
would be really bad.

e.g. running all the file system stress tests from LTP would be a good 
idea, ideally multiple at a time on a multi processor system on a ram
disk or perhaps AIM9.
