One more positive mark for ext4.  Toshiba laptops have the feature
which automatically turns themselves off to protect the hardware if
they suffer from overhead.  I've been using 2 Toshiba satellites with
Gentoo and countless power down incidents (especially when compiling
chromium or kdelibs), I use ext4 for all partitions and I've never had
a problem losing my data.

About the performance comparison, check out [1]Phoronix for more
details.
