On any given day, I'm dumping customer's HD contents to a ReiserFS partition on my server - anywhere from a few gigs upward of 50-60gb - along with the daily bits of moving around MP3's, AVI's, MPG's and SVCD's - when I was using ext3, I had a much slower go of it, but since using ReiserFS, it's definitely been smoother. This is a network file server and all the "user" homes reside on ReiserFS, IMAP lives on ReiserFS; I had been a proponent of ext3 for quite some time until I "tested" ReiserFS for that reason - now I can't/won't go back.
Keep in mind that the default ext3 journaling mode is slow as hell. Mounting a partition with "data=writeback" greatly improves performance.
