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?
