Hello!
I am doing my own tests with Ext4. It has better performance than ext3  
FS. On some tests that I have done, I have 40 MB/s more than the same  
hardware with ext3 FS. Have you seen the same ?
    
what are you using to test ?
  
dd writing big file from /dev/zero and ddt that is an utility from 
www.coraid.com. This is the best test for Ext4, because the change in 
allocate of space.
I using some 512 MB size file, about 70 files, copy with cp. But I have 
no conclusion about that.
Now I am using bonnie++, it is the results:

You could have your conclusion about this result. The machine is 32 GB 
RAM and 8 RAID 5 SAS hd. Have you any better idea to test ? Have you any 
idea about RAID configuration to improve performance?
