Note: the driver was merged to the upstream kernel in 5.15. So this package is useless for Arch official kernels.
If you want bleeding edge updates, use ntfs3-dkms-git.

I made some test using bonnie and pts, this driver seems to be much faster than ntfs-3g

(disregard the read tests, since they were done from page cache)

edit: compilebench in pts, now includes native ext4, the paragon ntfs3 driver performance is comparable

@babam yes. Don't forget to install linux-headers package first.

Is working on the latest kernel?

Requires explicit fs type to mount (-t ntfs3).
If you want to use ntfs3 as the default driver, such udev rule does the trick:

SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="ntfs", ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}="ntfs3"

Performance tips:
noatime option can speed up filesystem operations.
prealloc option reduces disk fragmentation (useful for HDD).

Another hint for udisks. Add a such options to /etc/udisks2/mount_options.conf in [defaults] section:

ntfs3_defaults=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,noatime,prealloc
ntfs3_allow=uid=$UID,gid=$GID,umask,dmask,fmask,iocharset,nohidden,sys_immutable,discard,force,sparse,showmeta,prealloc,noacsrules,acl
