[fuse-devel] Numbers on fuse overhead for big file access?

[Rob M. <cap...@xs...>]

I am trying to advocate use of fuse as the location to place several disk
image format libraries rather than putting the libraries in all the
seperate tools. I only have very limited numbers to be able to say
something well grounded about the performance overhead that Fuse poses on
read only access to big (tens to hundreds of GB) files.

Does anyone know of studies on Fuse overhead, and or have more substantial
information than can be gathered from simply running and timing dd on a
raw disk image, and comparing it to the same dd run trough a simple loop
back fuse file system?

T.I.A.
