xfs sure does copy and delete really large files faster - I do use it

How big do files have to be before one starts to notice the advantages
of XFS?
In my experience, delete performance differences become noticeable
when you get over 1 gigabyte. ext3 (and ext2) blocks *all* writes to
the filesystem during deletes, and deleting multi-gigabyte files can
take several seconds. This can be problematic in, for example, video
recording applications; if a recording is in progress, you'll drop
frames during the delete.
