I've noticed that reiserfs has an extremely annoying lag on directory reads (on cold cache, of course) which was the reason I dumped the filesystem years ago. Annoyed just that little bit too much in interactive work. (FYI I later moved to JFS which I found to be the best allrounder until I discovered some unpleasant bugs and only a single semi-active developer, which luckily coincided with works on ext4 getting finished and now I'm generally happy with that.) -- [a]
