Well, further tests show that it behaves very unstable:

3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+ 3.4.0-rc2-btrfs5+
------------------------ ------------------------
69.88 +16.4% 81.31 bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-10dd-1-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
71.09 +1.4% 72.05 bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-10dd-2-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
72.60 -1.7% 71.38 bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-10dd-3-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
90.54 -0.9% 89.74 bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-1dd-1-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
89.17 -90.2% ==> 8.71 bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-1dd-2-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
==> 14.96 +495.3% 89.06 bay/thresh=1M/btrfs-1dd-3-3.4.0-rc2-btrfs4+
408.23 +1.0% 412.26 TOTAL write_bw

Where the -btrfs5 kernel has one more patch to remove the write plug.

Thanks,
Fengguang
