And yes, I would recommend xfs - noticeably faster than ext3, and no sign of any mysterious hangs under load.
So I meant "faster that ext3, and without strange mini hangs like jfs...".

The hangs you are having are due to several issues... one of them is the way ext3 syncs.
Never suffered this personally, it was an unexpected filesystem corruption with ext3 that "encouraged" me to try out xfs instead.
