In my experience, reiserfs is worse suited for laptops because it does
an atime sync every 5 seconds.

I think this also prevents the HD from sleeping, but I don't care and
don't know. What I do care about is noise, and I have removed reiserfs
from my laptop because the HD sound is quite audible when my apartment
is quiet and the async sound drives me mad. I seem to hear nothing with
ext3
