Well, I can't imagine a FS stored on disk, whose performance wouldn't
degrade if it's filled up... fragmentation is very important, many FS's
are automatically defragmenting files, which ie becoming harder if there's
not enough of free space. If there's no automatic def

Our FreeBSD's FS degraded its performance when loaded over 90%

You can try to fill up disk to 75%, that should not harm. I think
"iostat -d" and "iostat -D" still work good.
