Just to be clear, the issue I am talking about is metadata only(think ls -l or
file browsing). It doesn't affect small file perf(well not that much,
I'm sure a little, but I have never quantified it), with server and client
event threads set to 4 + lookup optimize I see between a 200-300% gain on my
systems on 3.7 vs 3.6 builds. If I needed fast metadata I would go with 3.6, if
I need fast smallfile I would go with 3.7. If I needed both I would pick the
less of the two evils and go with that one and upgrade when the fix is released.
