Reiser4 File-System Shows Decent Performance On Linux 3.10

With the first disk test of Flexible IO Tester, Reiser4 was the clear winner. Reiser4 pulled ahead of EXT4, which was the second fastest file-system, and this experimental file-system had a noticeable performance lead ahead of the stable ReiserFS. Btrfs and XFS both trailed by large margins.

With the FS-Mark test involving one thousand files of 1MB size, Reiser4 was only faster than ReiserFS but came up short of the more common EXT4 / Btrfs / XFS.

For the four-threaded FS-Mark test, Reiser4 wasn't any faster than ReiserFS and fell short of the performance levels by the rest of the Linux file-system competition.

For the final FSMark test, the Reiser4 performance came in just shy of EXT4.
