I was burned by ext3 with regard to streaming disk throughput.
I ended up remounting the relevant filesystem as ext2 to avoid the
problem.  I have no info regarding CPU and/or preemption issues during
journal posting.  If we never go to the disk, it might not matter at
all.

I installed the Reiser FS on my new laptop.  I'll let you know if I
see anything hinky.  Haven't tried XFS.  I suspect it's OK.  
SGI built truely *monstrous* media servers using it.
