Will this enhance the performance?

Björn:
There is no obexftp backend yet, but one is being worked on. It will use bluez of course.

The stability should be better though, as in gvfs the backends run in a separate process, which isolates both nautilus and the backend from each other.

Can gvfs mount partitions like an obexfs share via bluez or do you need a backend like Gnome-vfs-obexfs (which is extremely unstable btw and also kind of kills nautilus when it hangs).

gio will replace gnome-vfs, but it doesn’t use fuse for file I/O like you seem to think. However, there is a fuse mount that lets standard unix apps access gio via the standard filesystem.

So, gio will replace totally gnome-vfs and any network folder will be mounted throught FUSE? It’s a good idea unify the backend for all kind of partitions, like USB storages, bluetooth or mp3 players…
Isn’t it?

This “gio” means also that it will be easier to create virtual file systems for Gnome? I have been long wanting to get a virtual svn file system with the ability to sync (commit/update) local versions of parts of the svn in USABLE way.
