Fwd: btrfs-progs 4.4 re-balance of RAID6 is very slow / limited to one cpu core?

I don't have any useful information about parity RAID modes or large
arrays, so this might be totally useless. Nonetheless, just last week
I added a 2TB drive to an existing Btrfs raid10 array (5x 2TB before
addition) and did a balance afterwards. I don't take any numbers, but
I was frequently looking at htop and iotop. I thought the numbers were
extremely good: 100-120MB/s sustained for each drive with the "total"
reported by iotop exceeding 600MB/s. That's with integrated sata
controller on an Intel Z97 mini-ITX motherboard (cpu i4770).
Significantly faster than anticipated. I started it one evening, and
it was finished when I awoke the next morning.

That was on 4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64 with btrfs-progs 4.3.1.
