Ext3 users - Aug 2001 - ext2 vs. ext3

Hi,

I just tested ext2 and ext3(2.4-0.9.6) with 2.4.8-ac8, using 
bonnie++-1.01. The hardware is an old Pentium 100 box with 48M RAM and a 
16.6MB/s EIDE harddrive. The test results(see attachment) show ext3 is a 
lot slower than ext2 in most aspects. Does anybody get better results?

  The tests were done on the same physical partition.

Mounting ext3 with "mount -o data=writeback" is often better for
benchmarks (not necessarily for real life.)
