How will you do that? Running xfs_fsr on a regular basis is *not*
recommended, as it will age your filesystem and defrag free space. In
the beginning, and as long as your filesystem is maybe 50% full it will
be fine, but there's a point where it starts to get worse - much worse.
Just run a recent kernel, it has all the naughty stuff to help keep the
performance high.
