I remember reading some benchmark to the effect that ReiserFS
outperforms ext3 in terms of speed. But ext3 has some functionality
that ReiserFS lacks. And benchmarks are only benchmarks. Anyway I just
moved two boxen from ext3 to ReiserFS and I noticed a general system
speedup in both cases.
Have you tuned your hd with hdparm? In some cases really makes a
difference.
