1 JFS is very soft on cpu usage, and ext4 does a very good job overall.
2 fsck times for ext4 makes it probably the best choice for a server,
3 plus it has more eyes watching over it.

5 In any case, I wanted to call your attention that this might not be
6 the best choice anyway. If you truly want portage to have the minimum
7 possible impact on the performance of your machine(s) you should
8 probably be using other machine(s) to build binary packages, then use
9 these package in the target system(s) (i.e. with emerge -K).
