FYI some braindead benchmarking, reiserfs vs ext4, kernel 2.6.35-gentoo-r8

Copy same DVD image from internal reiserfs drive to freshly formatted
external drive;
reiserfs    1m37.530s
ext4        3m15.074s

Then image copy on that external drive;
# time cp CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso2
# time cp CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso CentOS-5.3-x86_64-bin-DVD.iso3
reiser        1m44.719s and 1m51.441s
ext4        3m24.337s and 4m30.534s

Not that is matters, but create filesystem on 2TB drive;
reiserfs    1m17.373s
ext4        6m3.421s

Didnt see that coming, I guess i'll stick with reiser3....
