I agree, reiser4 has been very slow for me, and as I've upgraded the kernel,
it's gotten, if anything, worse.
I'm currently running 2.6.18-mm3. I upgraded (as I have before) in the hope
that the generally very slow issue had been fixed in this kernel release,
and if I knew that it was fixed
AFAIK, vim fsyncs, azureus fsyncs, and may be many other applications
fsyncs but not only databases.
Definitly turn off fsync() is a bad idea. I just wonder how bad r4's
fsync() performance is.
It seems the result is: disabled fsync() r4 is even slower than
enabled fsync() ext3.o
Is it never
