The ext2 indexing patch is apparently stable but it's still pre-alpha until the hash function is finalized. I could see using it to run performance tests of ext2+indexing against the alternatives, but only if you are prepared to rerun mke2fs later. Then there is the matter of making fsck index-aware. As it stands now, if fsck finds an index it will remove it.
But by all means please test the patch:
http://nl.linux.org/~phillips/htree/dx.testme-2.4.4-4
It would be great to see a table of ReiserFS/XFS/Ext2+index performance results. Well, to make it really fair it should be Ext3+index so I'd better add 'backport the patch to 2.2' or 'bug Stephen and friends to hurry up' to my to-do list.
