The last time I used btrfs on my personal laptop the only bad thing I could see was the slow boot up. Other than that it was a very good filesystem indeed.

Is the boot speed better now than in previous versions?

Likewise, LVM makes ext4 slower on boot. Would this mean that btrfs over LVM will be even more slow?

Your slow bootup may have been caused by the partial and read-only "btrfsck" being used as fsck.btrfs (i.e., run on every boot). I currently symlink fsck.btrfs to /bin/true.

Do you have real numbers about what exactly went slow? With and without LVM?

No reason for it is have *any* impact unless something was misconfigured...
