Last time I attempted to do a fair comparison I compared an Ultra
Enterprise 2 with two UltraSPARC CPUs of ~200MHz speed, 256M of RAM, and
a 9G SCSI hard drive with a Thinkpad 380XD with a 233MHz PentiumMMX, 96M
of RAM and a 3.2G Toshiba IDE drive.
Ext2 on the Thinkpad beat UFS on the Sun in most tests. ReiserFS on the
Thinkpad beat tmpfs on the Sun for creating large numbers of files (tmpfs
does not index directories).
This is off-topic. Maybe we should migrate to the ReiserFS list where
comparing FS performance is a topical matter?
