my (5 year old) laptop with a relatively slow SSD in it boots to GDM
(Mint LXDE) in about 5 seconds with ext4. A 9 year old laptop fitted
with a very slow PATA SSD takes about 9 seconds to do the same.
I'm not so sure that ZFS is a good fit for single drive machines ((Nor
is ext4 for SSDs for that matter), but I'm happy to be corrected.
What I do know from banging hard on both is that I'd far sooner trust
ZFS in an enterprise environment than BTRFS (or XFS), because I'm not
really that happy about the idea of having to periodically restore
500Tb+ of data from backups. Speed is a secondary issue, but ZFS is
definitely faster at large scale.
There's a lot of wheel reinvention going on and I feel there must be
some way of merging the good parts of both sets of code, then moving on.
