Yes same experience here, and reiserfs is fast on a load of small files, but 
slow for big files. So reiserfs should not be used. ext3 is even readable as 
ext2 and has journaling, so I would use that. If you are interested in 
large-file support 4Gig (bigger ?) then XFS maybe better, but I never was 
really interested on this topic.
