It increases speed in exactly one case: When the system has crashed or suffered a power loss without cleanly unmounting the disks. Then, ext3 will save you a fsck run. In all other cases, performance can't be any better than plain old ext2. I'd expect it to perform worse than ext2 actually. -- Best Regards, | Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
