I will say that I have noticed substantial performance drag on a ext3
filesystem with millions of files in a database application that stores
persistent objects in a manner similar to Squid. I think any filesystem
that stores metadata as B*Trees of B+Trees is likely to perform better than
ext3 for an especially big, full cache.

Subject: [squid-users] anyone compared comparison of reiserfs vs ext3 on
linux recently ?
Can anyone proffer an opinion about the merits of using reiserfs over
default linux filesystems ext3 for a squid server ?
In case its important, the squid is running on from memory so I cant be
too precise here with 1Gb ram, dual 700MHz cpu, and a scsi disk array.
The OS is redhat linux 8.0 distro. Squid will be compiled from latest
stable source.
Its for a population of 4000 in a commercial environment.
