How is the speed now? I never had data issues but I definitely had speed issues. Btrfs was really slow compared to ext4/xfs back when I tried it. And I mean orders of magnitude slow. I had an application that did a lot disk access and switching off of btrfs brought the runtime down from a week to just hours. I want to like btrfs, but after that I just can't trust it for high disk load situations.

with cow is still slower than zfs. It still uses lzo for compression whereas zfs uses lz4, which is 10x faster for decompression.
