It's quite surprising that reiserfs is so slow at deletion. In my normal experience reiserfs rm -rf is much faster than anything else (e.g. with a big rm -rf on an ext2 you have a chance to ctrl-c still, on reiserfs no such chance; XFS is really slow at this). Perhaps this is some 2.5 regression? Do you have 2.4 comparison numbers?

You should expect V3 to be slow at quad CPU smp benchmarks because balancing is giant locked. V4 fixes this with fine grained locking, we hope to release at Linux Tag in July. Fortunately quad CPU boxes will not be economical compared to dual CPU boxes until V4 has been out for a while....;-) V4 CPU usage and general performance has gotten a lot better, we need to put a new snapshot on our website.....
