On my busy mail and news servers I've found that ReiserFS has a much higher performance than other file systems. I suspect that this has to do with the tail packing which is discussed in this article. This is a great feature and I would hope it doesn't get left out in future file systems because of NIH issues or more hypothetical damage scenarios.

The 2006 Linux Filesystems Workshop (Part II) Posted Jul 15, 2006 16:44 UTC (Sat) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link] Tail packing reduces performance unless files packed together are generally accessed together.
What it increases is *storage efficiency*.
