I guess this is the reason that expiring news (basically deleting lots of
files) is very slow on Linux/ext2fs ?

I actually very much doubt that the inode update is what is causing
expire to be slow. It may be part of the reason, but I suspect it's
only a very tiny part. See my previous post about why the inode update
probably isn't slowing down rm -rf.
