Yep, http://kerneltrap.org/node/5654 suggests [to me] that the repacker be finished first before it's of good use
"Hans Reiser: Our fsync performance is not optimized yet, and will be bad until it is optimized. Our performance for fully random modifications will be bad until we ship a repacker." (kerneltrap article from September 13 2005)
