I can't speak for DRH, but I have found that ext3 with the option of "data=journal" gives a massive improvement speed wise than default ext3 options, mainly because the journal is contiguous and ext3 can avoid seeks while still ensuring data is written safely to disk. This is a big win for rotating platter disks. I did an informal benchmark of various filesystem types on Linux (note this is 2 1/2 years ago) as part of an OSNews thread here: http://www.osnews.com/permalink?184137 I'd be interested in how ext4 compares to ext3.
