No, please go ahead if you can and if it does not hinder your benches of
2.4-HEAD or other important tasks. It's only that I am not too
optimistic that the changes actually improves things.

It is not the end of the road however. There is lots of opportunity at
making a more efficient async-ufs implementation. One important
optimization from 2.2-HNO not yet in 2.4.DEVEL is to split unlink to a
separate queue from the normal storage uperations (2.2-HNO uses unlinkd,
but it should be implemented using separate threads).
