I have implemented production workloads with an early version of ReiserFs, we did some analysis that showed ext3 and Reiser have different performance sweet spots, one works better for a large number of small files, the other works better for a small number of large files.
The decision to go Reiser did cause problems when we encountered an error in Reiser lock which would hang our server with no indication why other than it was the filesystem caused hang. When the problem was identified and resolved (after 9 painful months) the performance was very good.
