One think to remember when comparing different file systems is not just
speed but functionality. Windows has a far better permission system than
Linux does. ACLs bring Linux closer to Windows when it cones to fine
grained permissions, but when you turn ACLs on with reiser 3 it slows
down to 1/10 of normal speed and Reiser 4 ACLs just doesn't work. With
ACLs as part of the mix ReiserFS would get its butt kicked.
Welcome to the real world.
NTFS ACLs also have a number of problems.
I have worked with NT systems for many years and I would happily guve up
that functionality for some of the flexibility of a Linux based
infrastructure.
Sadly, at work, I am stuck with Windows :(
