Over twelve months ago, I did some reasonably unscientific testing between ext2, ext3, xfs and reiserfs filesystems on a ten gig partition. The only results that sticks with me is that xfs was the slowest fs to write to (by a small margin ~5%) and the fastest fs to read from (by a big margin ~10%). Also using the standard mkpart settings xfs was much more space efficient then either ext3 or reiserfs.
