Hello,
I just had the same problem. I switched to XFS about two weeks ago, and all I've heard out of my hard drive since then is churning and grinding. Untarring large files is multitudes slower, even a simple emerge --sync takes extra time. Booting was also much slower. I never measured throughput, but it was bad enough that a benchmark was not needed to confirm it. Previously I had been using ext3 with no problems, no hard drive churning. I switched from xfs to reiser4 today out of frusteration... Problem solved.
