Dbench is also much faster with HAMMER2.

IOzone's write performance was showing better performance with HAMMER2 at 2GB and 4GB file sizes, but dropped at 512MB.

BlogBench is currently showing slower performance on HAMMER2.

I will have some ZFS FreeBSD and EXT4/Btrfs/XFS Linux comparison points shortly for those wondering how DragonFly's HAMMER2 fits into the grand scheme. Look for the next DragonFly release to happen within a few weeks.
