While the filesystem can affect performance, I don't think the differences 
are likely to be significant when compared to hardware issues: IDE vs SCSI 
vs RAID, onboard cache on the controller, System memory set aside for disk 
caching, etc.

After you have optimized your hardware then you'll still need to worry 
about Block sizes, before worrying about which of the high-level file 
systems to use.
