Hi!
I have an old laptop (486/sx, 33mhz, 8M RAM) with ~180M hd.
I really don't care much about the stability, although I would love to
make it a bit faster. Currently is uses e2fs but would have no problem
converting it to reiserfs if I gain some speed by doing that.
It does not have any large files on it, it does not have many small files
on it. Hence, it nearly has any files on it at all. Is there any point at
using reiserfs? How much (if at all) will I gain speed if I use reiserfs?
And what about reiser4, will that make any difference on this aspect?
P.S: When will new snapshot of reiser4 released for 2.5 kernels?

Reiserfs puts a higher load on the cpu than ext2. In your case, I think
reiserfs would be slower than ext2.
