Ok. Basically read speed for big files on IDE (and other devices
with dumb/non-existing) cache is increased in 15% or thereabout.
Write speed is increased due to corrected journal behaviour,
so now we do not write to a log several times a second which gives us quite a
speedup, too.
Due to increased write speed, slmost all fs operations got some boost, too ;)

Since you have indicated problems on your server are persistent on ext3 too,
I believe it is hardware problem of some kind (and I cannot reproduce it, too)
and this patch will give no impact on it most probably.
