I also use Pan, and recently switched to using Reiser4 on my laptop.  I
can tell that Pan starts much more quickly than it used to using
Reiser3.  It isn't nearly as fast as starting it from a USB Flash drive
though.  I don't know how it compares to ext3, although the flash drive
was using a ext2 loopback on FAT-32 filesystem.
