I have a niggling feeling that Reiser3's metadata gets heavily fragmented
eventually. I can't prove it, but copying the root drive of my laptop to XFS
has made a noticeable difference in file access time on exactly the same
hard drive. (Copy off, mkfs, copy back, is one of the best ways to defrag.)
