It can be, depending on the workload. I (as a Linux user) moved from ext3 to 
xfs, ignoring the warnings about file deletion [being slow]. Now I _kind of_ 
regret it. Seems I have more than one program on my laptop that deletes files 
(kmail's email-expiration thing comes to mind). I also work on a project that 
creates large log files an deletes them (periodically). When all these 
programs meet, I go for a coffee. :)
