Sorry, but unfortunately it's typical. Reiser3 extended attributes had
to be implmented using hidden, regular files. So, when you create a file
in a directory with a default ACL, it's actually creating 3 files and a
directory. However, once the ACL is in memory, it stays there as long as
the inode is cached. For heavy creation activity, Reiser3 ACL
performance is abysmal.
Reiser3 *should* have been able to have ACLs implemented as another item
type, but the implementation has item types hard coded and it would
panic older systems if another item type was added.
