If all you are concerned about is performance, then create a 10 disk stripped volume on Ext4. That in fact would be a viable setup as say a temporary workspace for video editing. As a reliable storage method it would be a disaster.

My laptop laptop is a dell xps 13z with Intel Sandy Bridge. under Linux it occassionally overheats if I don't keep an eye on the temperatures, u der win7 that doesn't bappen. So I stick to win7 to make sure I don't damage anything from thermal output

I've used Btrfs for some time, spent some time and effort tweaking it, but I've migrated back to ext4 now.
BtrFS has great functionality, but performance, especially when you are using most of your drive capacity, was absolutely horrid. Even with SSD caching it was still problematic.

I just moved my SSD (root only) back to btrfs at home. Performance seems a bit better than about a year ago. I've also got a lab server that is currently running a small 4 disk raid1 btrfs array, that I plan to test out the new raid5/6 functionality on.
On a side note, some of these package manager-aware snapshotting utilities are really awesome! For example on debian based systems there is apt-btrfs-snapshot. Once installed, it can snapshot your root volume automatically during an apt-get upgrade. This makes it really handy when running a bleeding edge distribution, or doing other things like testing a new RC kernel, or new AMD/Nvidia proprietary drivers. Rolling back to a snapshot takes literally 5 seconds and a reboot.
Of course this can be done manually, but it's kinda nice to have it done for you in case you forget. I really can't wait to roll this out to some production servers in the future.
