It's not much. Think about using an external journal to a dedicated model1 dasd to speed things up a little. If performance is a strong concern, adventurous minds may also consider to journal to a vdisk. In case VM keeps running, the journal should be okay. In the worst-case, you'll have to run a file system check as with second extended and recreate your journal.
