We don't have comprehensive benchmarks as it is not quite stable. The 
following is some
results for 'cp'. Note that the cpu time doesn't include flushing and 
compression:

belka workstation:
Dual Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz;
1G RAM;
36G ide   partition;
SMP on;
Linux 2.6.9-rc1-mm5
reiser4 (Large keys)

Creation of 20 linux source trees

UNIX_FILES:
