Nah, I do not think so. Data-centers with thousands of users will provide the file system using some kind of distributed file system, and the network will be the bottleneck, not the local filesystem performance. I believe local filesystem performance is most important for services like news servers and perhaps high performance calculation systems with large data sets. I've never experienced a service where the bottleneck was the local file system performance.
