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.
