The conclusion section of the performance preview may be useful for you: http://ceph.com/uncategorized/argonaut-vs-bobtail-performance-preview/ One oddity is that there may have been some regression for 128k reads. Overall though I'd say that performance has improved, especially on XFS. I don't think it's likely we will be pushing any performance patches to the bobtail series, but it's possible performance could change as a result of a bug fix. For what it's worth, I've started performing sweeps over ceph parameter spaces (and looking at underlying io schedulers) to see how tuning affects ceph performance under different scenarios. I'm hoping to be able to release the results later this month. Mark
