WOW! Those differences are crazy!
Please - I know benchmarking takes a lot of time - but could you check
something: the behavior those fs have at what time they flush data from
cache to disk is very different. Have you made sure that you measured
the time it really needs? I mean the difference between:
$ sync; time cp source dest
and
$ sync; time (cp source dest; sync)
Only the last measures somewhat correctly.
I'm irritated, because ext4 is extends based, and should behave much
better with big files than reiser3... not only less fragmentation, but
should also be faster...
Bye,
Daniel
