Well, this may sound like a troll, but I have said this before and will say
that again. I found reiserfs to be faster than ext2, upto 40% at times when
we tried a quasi closed source benchmark on a quad xeon machine with SCSI
RAID.
Everything else being same and defaults used out of box, reiserfs on mandrake9
was far faster in every respect than ext2.
I personally find freeBSD UFS to be a better combo based on my workstation
tests. I believe freeBSD has a better IO scheuler that utilises disk
bandwidth in optimal manner. Scratching (my poor IDE) disk like mad does not
happen with freeBSD but linux does it plenty. But I didn't benchmark it for
throughput..
