Thanks, I had actually reinstalled and used ext4 (I was already using
LVM) the other day, and my performance has improved tremendously. I
had no idea that btrfs was that slow. Thanks for the other tips
though.

btrfs is slower than ext4, especially with cache=writethrough. Try
cache=writeback to recover some of the performance loss.
ext4 is slower as well due to defaulting to barrier=1. barrier=0 will be
faster at the cost of data integrity.
For best performance, use LVM and cache=off.
