The two major changes are doing all extent tree operations in delayed processing queues and removing many of the blocking points with btree locks held. In addition to smoothing out IO performance, these changes really cut down on the amount of stack btrfs is using, which is especially important for kernels with 4k stacks enabled (fedora). -chris
