I've experimented with Pacman on an Ext3 and ReiserFS partition. It's a general concession that ReiserFS is great at dealing with lots of small files. I've found Pacman to run beautifully on a ReiserFS partition, but noticeably slow on Ext3. If you're someone who typically uses Ext3, give ReiserFS a shot. Even if it's just on your /var partition.
