I have one set of results with ext3 data=writeback and it appears that some of the write tests have less throughput than data=ordered. For anyone who wants to look at the results details: http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/HP_ProLiant_DL380_G5_Tuning_Guide it's under the "Aggregate Bandwidth (MB/s) - RAID 5 (256KB stripe) - No partition table" table.
