Last comparison I read was in german c't magazine (issue 2002/6 p.228) where they compared ext2, ext3, jfs, reiserfs and xfs using (among others) postmark [http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3022.html] Postmark is said to simulate a mailserver pretty well. Other tests like tiobench revealed somewhat other results. With postmark, xfs performed amazingly well, while jfs was even slower than ext2/3 and reiser and had some reliablity problems. But please note that things might have changed by now; versions compared where ext3 0.9.16, jfs 1.0.15, reiserfs 3.6.25, xfs 1.0.2.
