OK, so I guess we all know that ext3 doesn't scale well. But by
accident, I have some numbers on exactly how bad it really is:
Kernbench-2: (make -j N vmlinux, where N = 2 x num_cpus)
Elapsed User System CPU
2.5.61-mjb0.1-ext3 48.47 564.13 143.16 1458.67
2.5.61-mjb0.1-ext2 46.06 563.04 115.36 1472.33
(look at system time ... eeek!)
