/me moves over and stands next to Auke.

What I was reporting was simply how it performed for me on my computer
in my world. I noticed no difference. I know some people on this list
are maintaining servers that are being bombarded with disk read/writes
from users all day long. And some of you regularly copy gigs of data
from one place to the next. Reiserfs may be faster for you, then. Or
not. I don't know. I just know that in my world it made no difference
at all. And when I factor in the compatibility issue, it's a
no-brainer. It was not my intent to suggest that Reiserfs was no faster
than ext3 in all situations or for all users.
