Can we have pointers to these crashes or BZ reports please? As Josef has noted, 
btrfs has been quite stable in our testing and we are certainly going to pursue 
any reports.

Also note that the btrfs community of developers is not so small these days and 
rivals (if not surpasses) the size of the team working on ext4.

Just to answer your last question,  we do not intend to "slow it down".  Rather, 
we hope to speed it up considerably by adding developers, testing and users :)
