Show HN: Goofys – a faster s3fs written in Go

Not surprising that s3fs is slower, it's implementation quality is not very high. Goofys looks much better on first sight. It would be nice if anybody could do a benchmark between goofys and riofs (without cache). But honestly, if you have some proper request handling there is not that much to tune. The biggest performance gains can be achieved from a good cache implementation and make such a system useful in a production environment, that's what riofs was written for.

Disclaimer: I initiated and supervised riofs.

first off apologies for the criticism about flush(), I only skimmed the code and flush() is usually where I look for first.

Anyways goofys at this point is just a toy project. There are more optimizations that I can potentially do (proper read prefetching) it's mostly good enough.
