	I agree, but my big problem with reiser was speed.  On large 
(multi-gigabyte) streaming writes it starved interrupts from other 
drivers.  It seemed to spend too much time in kernel mode and caused 
interrupt loss when it flushes its buffers.
	This may be fixed, but once burned.

	If I switch from ext3 I will likely switch to XFS.
