Strange behaviour of UFS2+SU FS on FreeBSD 8-Stable: dreadful
perofrmance for old data, excellent for new.

If your old disk was full for a long time and had a lot of activity,
the most recently created files are likely to have poor layout.
Copying them should give them an improved layout now that much
more space is available. Best is to copy one, then remove the
original copy. Copy the next one and remove its old copy, etc.
Please let me know if this works, as if it does not, something
is wrong with growfs.
