It depends on how many recordings you have. You could give us the following 
informations:

  liquid:/video/vdr # find . -type d | wc -l
       79

  liquid:/video/vdr # df -h

The ext3 filesystem is actually a bit slower than ext2. You'll have a faster 
fs with reiserfs. A friend of mine, Daniel Phillips (tux2) created a patch to 
ext2 which makes directory accesses much faster, but I don't know if it's in 
the current kernel.
