I never said the SSH key generation was due to Ext3, I said the boot process you describe is probably due to Ext3.Btw, the key generation process is CPU-bound so it's a bit hard for me to understand why you blame the file system since that's mostly IO performance. I also don't think it's useful for you to make unsubstantiated claims about ext3's performance or the lack of. Do you numbers to back your statements up? Because if you have I'd love to see them so I can pass them on to our ext3 developers. Thanks!
