Much better than the hand-waving I've heard before.. ;)

Oh it started as handwaving -- i.e. I didn't do more than simple blktrace benchmarking for a few minutes to look at the relative write rates after the initial mkfs -- but it became clear in the recent ext4 corruption fiasco that the handwaving had a basis in fact :) I corrupted /var repeatedly, and /home once or twice at most.
