Yes.
On a quad xeon with 3.75 gb ram there is a regression on reiserfs
in dbench and tiobench with many threads between 2.4.20-pre1 and 2.4.20-pre2.
With alloc=preallocmin=4:preallocsize=9 mount option, throughput in pre2
is improved over pre1.
16% improvement instead of 23% regression at 192 processes
dbench reiserfs 192 processes Average High Low
2.4.20-pre1 55.94 58.17 54.26
2.4.20-pre2 42.98 44.73 42.30
2.4.20-pre2-oleg 64.95 66.72 63.36
9% improvement instead of 13% regression at 64 processes.
dbench reiserfs 64 processes Average High Low
2.4.20-pre1 70.98 72.53 69.47
2.4.20-pre2 61.93 64.01 57.31

Unit information
================
File size = 12288 megabytes
Blk Size = 4096 bytes
Rate = megabytes per second
CPU% = percentage of CPU used during the test
Latency = milliseconds
Lat% = percent of requests that took longer than X seconds
CPU Eff = Rate divided by CPU% - throughput per cpu load
tiobench has a 5-8% improvement instead of ~70% regression on seq read
throughput. Latency numbers are affected too.
