I wonder if there isn't a more sophisticated speedup in XFS or
ReiserFS.

I see a huge benefit. Especially since the time difference is
minimal. Not only are you removing a not-insignificant chunk of memory
from the equation, but you're making the setup a lot more accessible to
those running 386s....or Pentium-90s.
The beauty of Linux is the fact that it doesn't require a large
system. If there's any one thing that should be felt by those
developing a distribution, it's keeping things lean and mean.
There was an argument about minimal memory usage. I'll catch that
in a response to someone above this message.
