I had a chance to try this earlier today, but don't have the numbers handy right
now. I only did FSFS experiments, but the basic gist was that trunk without
rep-sharing was faster, but not quite as fast as 1.5.x.

I'm working on a patch which allows rep-sharing to be configurable, via
fsfs.conf. This should make playing with these results a bit easier.
