What I would be interested in is file move and copy. I have on ext3 at 
first 22 MB/s breaking down to real slow speed and then again speed up. 
I suspect the file system to be the cause. Any experiences ? 

To my experiences: 
I had reiser on my home for a long time and had more then one 
unrecoverable corrupted file. Since usage of ext3  nothing. The most 
important on ext3 is that you do _not_ dsck after a power failure or 
the like. Some Distros handle that wrong.  

If XFS is more performant on big files I would prefer XFS, but maybe its 
a hrdwate limitation and not the filesystem on my machine.
