That's for normal usage.
Well, David don't forget what you tell me some time ago about
xfs_repair


  In terms of inode count, I generally use the rule that for every
  10million inodes you need a gigabyte of RAM for repair - you needed
  about 500MB for 6million inodes.


The inode count also affects xfsdump/xfsrestore operations but I don't
know the details. There was a huge improvement in performances for
partial dump with xfsprogs-2.8.16 IIRC.
