I get
martin@shambala:~/Zeit/filetest -> rm *; sync ; time for ((I=1; I<=10000;
I=I+1)); do echo $I > $I; done
real 0m10.642s

sys 0m1.713s
martin@shambala:~/Zeit/filetest -> sync ; time cat * >/dev/null
real 0m0.238s
user 0m0.087s
sys 0m0.153s
martin@shambala:~/Zeit/filetest -> sync ; time cat * | wc -l
10000
real 0m0.375s
user 0m0.120s

martin@shambala:~/Zeit/filetest -> sync ; time rm *
real 0m7.600s
user 0m0.113s
sys 0m1.377s
for XFS with optimized settings...
shambala> xfs_info /home
meta-data=/dev/sda5 isize=256 agcount=6, agsize=4883256
blks
= sectsz=512 attr=2
data = bsize=4096 blocks=29299536, imaxpct=25

log =internal bsize=4096 blocks=32768, version=2
= sectsz=512 sunit=0 blks, lazy-count=1
realtime =none extsz=4096 blocks=0, rtextents=0
agcount is two more than would be optimal cause I growed the partition
once.
shambala> mount | grep home
/dev/sda5 on /home type xfs (rw,relatime,logbsize=256k,logbufs=8)
This is on a ThinkPad T42 internal laptop 160 GB harddisk drive with I
think 5400rpm.
Partition I tested on was not empty at that time and is heavily used.
shambala> LANG=EN df -h /home
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 112G 84G 29G 75% /home
And there is quite some fragmentation on it:
xfs_db> frag
actual 653519, ideal 587066, fragmentation factor 10.17%
I do not have free space in my playground LVM to test against ext3 and
reiserfs at the moment.
