I have been considering installing reiserfs on my laptop, not for the journaling stuff however because (according to the documentation) that it is faster, more economic on disk space and.....faster. I understand that it uses balanced-trees, however what I have been told by my student flats computing students this tree will have to be balanced everytime a entry is altered, etc. If this is true this means CPU usage, this translated to lower battery time. Anyone have any ideas about how a laptop's battery time is lowered by the tree-balancing. This is not a problem for mains-computers however laptops anything that uses CPU cycles (although they may normally be idle ones) uses juice. or am I just bantering on about nothing :) Alex
