My own anecdotal evidence is that btrfs is not ready for prime time. I ran a couple btrfs file systems from kernel about 2.6.30 to 3.4 and finally determined that my system was so slow because of btrfs. I switched to xfs and an operation that used to take weeks (literally) now takes hours.
Perhaps it's gotten significantly better in the last few revisions but I'd use caution if you want to use btrfs and still have good performance.
