SubjectRe: ReiserFS patch for 2.4.0-test2
Date
I tried it yesterday and it seemed rather sluggish when accessing disk files. 
It might be that the driver is not tuned (can't really speculate) or that my
paranoia jumped into overdrive. Either way I moved back to the 2.2.15 kernel
and will stay there for a while since this machine is workhorse in the office.

Thanks for the advice.
