Keep in mind the results from Boeblingen's testing that showed JFS on
Linux/390 was an absolute dog. Once again, extrapolating benchmark tests
across architectures can be very dangerous.

Subject: Filesystem Comparison
See: http://linuxtoday.com/developer/2003102900626OSKNSW
"Mike Benoit recently posted a link to results from his new and improved
file system shootout, using better hardware and running more tests. Using
two
benchmarks that are designed to measure hard drive and file system
performance,
Bonnie++ and IOZone, he's compared a number journaling filesystems found in
the 2.6 kernel. Included in the lineup are EXT2 (not journaling, but an
effective baseline [story]), JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, Reiser4, and EXT3 each
compared head to head on both SCSI and IDE drives.
"In Mike's summary he labels JFS and XFS as 'best bang for your buck'
explaining, 'While not the fastest file systems, both of them consistently
perform close to EXT2, while using minimal CPU. XFS seems to be faster over
a wider range of benchmarks, however it does use slightly more CPU than JFS.
While JFS really starts to slow down with lots of files.' As for pure speed,
Mike points to Reiser4 which really shined in the Bonnie++ benchmarks,
though
not quite so much in the IOZone benchmarks. He suggests, 'ReiserFS v4 will
[definitely] be worth while keeping an eye on, especially considering some
of the exciting new features it offers...'"
