Hmm, I just removed 2.2 Gbytes of data in 30000 files in 37 seconds (14.4 seconds system time), not tooo slow. And that is on a pretty vanilla 2 cpu linux box with a not very exciting scsi drive.

I agree with Alan here, the only sure fire way to find out which filesystem will work best for your application is to try it out. I have found reiserfs to be very fast in some tests, especially those operating on lots of small files, but contrary to some peoples, belief XFS is good for a lot more than just messing with Gbyte long data files.
