I used to use ext4 earlier, traversing through /usr/portage used to be very slow. When I switched xfs, speed increased drastically.

This might be kind of unrelated, but makes sense.

I guess traversing through directories may be faster with XFS, but in my experience ext4 perfoms better than XFS in regard to operations (cp, rm) on small files.
I read that there are some tuning options for XFS and small files, but never tried it.

But if somone seconds XFS I will try it too.

It's been a while since I messed with this but isn't XFS the one that hates power failures and such?
