That said, it is far less important to do this when updating 10.3.3 or 10.3.4, as journaling tends to keep the file system in better shape and most installers now automatically optimize and repair permissions as they finish up. My rule of thumb would be to take these extra steps only with machines that have a history of problem behavior or with updates that have a questionable reputation.
I've turned off Journaling on my eMac's 40GB Hard Drive. I've purchased too much music, and made too many data bases to allow journaling to fatten up my files. True it could potentially make it a little more unstable, but I haven't had a problem yet, and I still have 10GB free! So the whole, make sure everything is okay before I start deal is something I have to practice. And others should too, if they have journaling turned off.
