It doesn't require hardware any different from ext2, as such, though
it's fractionally larger and may have slightly higher overheads in some
rare situations.
It is, however, slower than ext2 in many situations, especially if data
journaling is used.
This is caused by the increased integrity of the journaling requiring
more disk access or different disk patterns.
In practice this should be close to invisible.
