Yep, "XFS Rules!", but we knew that.

Where was Rieserfs's mythic advantage when dealing with small files?

I'd really like to see a bench mark of simulanteously create and
deleting randomly sized files.  Other benchmarks and comments I've seen
pretty strongly suggest that ext2/3 performance degrades with use (and
I'm certain I've experienced this).
