The best fs for emerge is tmpfs on TMP_PORTDIR. I run box with tmpfs on
both /var/tmp and /tmp and happy with it -)
For fs CPU usage is nothing, IO usage is a real problem and weak point.
Thus, you are free to choose any fs with full journaling. ext3 allows
full journaling as option, as well as ext4 and ext4 is little faster if
tuned properly. JFS/XFS journals metadata only. Remember that journaling
makes writes (i.e. emerge) a bit slower.
