Well, it depends on a lot of things. From what I have read, one of the |
| 31 |
biggest things it depends on is the size and number of files you have. |
| 32 |
The speed of your CPU will affect this too because journaling has some |
| 33 |
overhead. I use reiserfs and have had no problems with it but depending |
| 34 |
on what you are doing you may need something else. Here are some links |
| 35 |
for you to read. This may help. |
