The fellow that runs KDE's news site recently did some investigation of
speed / disk usage for Zope's object database vs. ext3. He figured the
hierarchical nature of the article and comment history could be
represented by a file system pretty easily, so was curious how ext3 would
fare compared to ZODB.
There were some useful comments about optimizing ext3 posted in response to
his original post. Some things that were mentioned:
- use htree
- use 2.6 orlov (?)
- mount with data=writeback
- mount with commit=9999
The blog post and comments are here:

His blog entry seems to support the contention that if you want expert
feedback about a tool, just say it sucks. ;)

Mark
