I had similar regressions with ext4 too, even crashes. I couldn't pin it down at the time due to the fact that the partition was on a remote iSCSI server and part of an LVM. However since when I converted to ext3, it has been stable for 2 weeks. I used to get a crash every 2-3 days before when under high load.
