I'd also be VERY interested since our experience was quite the opposite.
ReiserFS was faster than all three, XFS trailing a dismal third (also had
corruption issues) and ext3 second or even more dismal third, depending on
if you ignored it's wretched large directory performance or not. ReiserFS
performed solidly and predictably in all tests. Not the same could be said
for XFS and ext3. This was about 2 yrs ago though.
