Well, I've seen often claims as yours (and never recall the opposite) and it is also my subjective perception, using regularly a system with ext2 and reiserfs in two partitions of the same hard disk. I made my choice base on space usage. I'll look for some benchmarks on performance later on.

I know it doesn't do checksums after saving blocks in the disk, but is reiserfs doing it?
