That's what I thought, but I regret using it for my recordings partition
now:

  * The big performance advantage in deleting large files seems to have
    vanished, it now seems slower than ext3

  * The partition can't be shrunk

  * You're less likely to be able to recover data after partition
    corruption; I once lost an entire partition because its fsck
    couldn't make it usable again
