I was recently doing some testing of lots of small files on the various
filesystems, and I ran into a huge difference (8x) depending on what
allocator was used for ext*. the default allocator changed between ext2
and ext3 (you can override it as a mount option) and when reading 1M
files (10 dirs of 10 dirs of 10 dirs of 1000 1K files) the time to read
them went from ~5 min with the old allocator useed in ext2 to 40 min for
the one that's the default for ext3.

(!!) Interesting. You said mount options? man mount man page only show
me data=journal, data=ordered, data=writeback, etcetera.
How can I change that?
