I was reading about ext2 vs. the various journaling filesystem performance benchmarks. ext2 is faster than any of them. I've used Reiser and ext3 journalling, and found reiser to be quite a bit faster for my needs. That said, I use ext3, because I want to have the filesystem protection and some people-- not me-- have had data corruption issues with reiser and the 2.4 kernels. xfs outperforms either, but *lots* of people have had to deal with hosed filesystems with it.
