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.

In fact my previous system was running on a ReiserFS partition, and now i'm
running on an ext3 one.... Since I still have that system on my hd, I'll
give it a try and see what happens....
Too bad Hans Reiser got those problems with his wife... His FS is very good,
and if someone doesn't buy his company, I'm afraid we'll lose a very good
FS....
