You probably want to play with the data option (from TFA):

*data=ordered / journal / writeback
**
*Specifies the journalling mode for file data. Metadata is always journaled.


*journal*
*All data is committed into the journal prior to being written into the main
file system.

**ordered**
*This is the default mode. All data is forced directly out to the main file
system prior to its metadata being committed to the journal.

*writeback*
Data ordering is not preserved - data may be written into the main file
system after its metadata has been committed to the journal. This is
rumoured to be the highest-throughput option. It guarantees internal file
system integrity, however it can allow old data to appear in files after a
crash and journal recovery.

Example:
mount -t reiserfs -o data=writeback /dev/sdb1 /mnt/scsi-disk-b
