At the time I was doing unix 'c' developement.
Editing, compiling, linking and normal day-to-day stuff in a
development environment.

Ext2 & Ext3.
I'm afraid I can't comment on the way System V filesystem or HFS work.
But I see your points.



The two developers (of which I was one) who used the machine
both commented that it seemed to run smoother and slighly quicker.

We did not do benchmark tests, like copying 100MB files around,
we just used it doing real work for about a week.
