Thanks David for this information,

On the previous setup (same pieces of software), we didn't had that kind
of problem.

Do you think that more memory is used while using XFS on a filesystem
traversal than with ReiserFS (the previous setup used ReiserFS)?

I'm of course not trying to blame XFS, but trying to understand what
really happens there.
