And you can ignore it. The VM wasn't running the kernel I thought it
was - it was an old kernel from half way through last week. A
3.15-rc1 kernel, which I'm now testing, doesn't show the regression:

FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     0      1600000            0     281779.0          9964735
     0      3200000            0     280343.0         10174512
     0      4800000            0     268615.2         11330160
     0      6400000            0     264782.4         11072193
.....

It shows all sorts of interesting new inode cache reclaim imbalances,
but other than that the peak performance is back to normal...

Sorry for the noise.

Cheers,

Dave.
