hmm.. OK, thanks.

Chris, this seems to be a worthwhile improvement to mainstream
reiserfs, independent of the low-latency thing. You can
probably achieve 10 milliseconds with just a few lines of
code - a subset of the patch which Shawn tested. (Unless you
were planning on magical algorithmic improvements...).

I'm all set up to generate those few lines of code, so
I'll propose a patch later this week.
