God knows why. It's not even especially fast, even compared to something like ext3 with dir_index, IME.

(A shame: I like tree-structured filesystems a lot. Just not reiserfs --- or NTFS, for that matter, a filesystem which reiserfs definitely *is* a hell of a lot faster than.)

(And who can forget those reiserfs design docs, with the somewhat grandiose claims (most of which I agree with, but they were oddly put), and the blue men... a work of immortal genius, or perhaps hallucinogenic drugs ;) )
