It's been a couple years since I was in such a scenario, but I'd say that r
w speed was adequate for what I was trying to do ( access documents, music,
etc that resided on my Windows partition ).  In looking at the NTFS-3G
driver, it seems like it might be cool to try out, though I can't comment on
how "safe" or "fast" it is being that I've not used it. It's been about 2
years since I've cut completely away from Windows ( at home ), and since
that time I've gradually begun to use ReiserFS, and for stuff that I want to
share to Windows computers ( ex. my wife's computer ( running Windows ) ), I
share that content via Samba.
