The problem must be part of reiserfs because my system is totally unusable
when writing to disk with reiserfs 3.6.10/kernel 2.4.0-test3-8 and it has
been that way in all 2.4 kernels. I had ext2 on my partitions before I
switched to reiserfs and ext2 was a LOT faster on both reads and writes.

I remember testing reiserfs on a 2.2 kernel and that was faster than ext2.
Something must have gone wrong in the port to 2.4

Conclusion: reiserfs is faster than ext2 on 2.2 , ext2 is a LOT faster
than reiserfs on 2.4
