I think sjw was running it for something at some point. I already didn't like it when I was `make menuconfig` and saw "Ooh, new filesystem!" and hit the question mark and it started by saying "It's supposed to be pronounced 'better FS'!" Anyway, the benchmark was more than four years ago (I think 2019) so maybe it doesn't blow up as much any more or maybe it is still the expected btrfs experience. (Even ext4 blew up on me the first time I tried it, at which point I decided to not even bother looking at filesystems unless they've been in production for several years.)

ZFS does the same with RAID and LVM and the entire I/O subsystem. They should probably rename it NIHFS.

I think it *mostly* focused on stability. But it's more or less a 30-year-old codebase, you kind of expect stability. New benchmarks would be interesting but I don't know if anyone has bothered.
