I looked at 9p as a NFS/SMB replacement some time ago for a project, and benchmarks seems scarce. I did find this[1] set of benchmarks but it's from 2005.
I also found this[2] from 2016 which points out some performance barriers, and it doesn't sound like an easy fix without some new extensions.
However there's also this[3] post from 2022 about some patches suggesting a 10x improvement in Linux 9p performance.
Would be interesting to see how things are these days.

- me-vs-cat 2y agoDid you end up using 9p as a NFS/SMB replacement? If yes, do you still use it today or why did you stop?
- magicalhippo 2y agoI ended up not pursuing it, but I feel like it would be interesting to give it a whirl just to compare, given hardware and code has evolved as mentioned.
