Please don't top post. It has now become very difficult for everyone
else reading this to know that you replied to Daniel and I am replying

You are most unlikely to notice any real difference between reiser and

that you already know and with whose tools you are familiar. You will
notice a much much larger increase if you upgrade the disks themselves
to something nice and fast.
