Isn't Ted Ts'o the jerk who set out to destroy Hans Reiser, because his filesystem Ext3/4 couldn't come close to competing with Reiser's.

The following table summarizes just how good Reiser4 compression is (encryption has not been tested).

<tt>| FILESYSTEM | TIME |DISK |
| TYPE       |(secs)|USAGE|

 
|REISER4 lzo | 1938 | 278 |
|REISER4 gzip| 2295 | 213 |
|REISER4     | 3462 | 692 |
|EXT4        | 4408 | 816 |
|EXT2        | 4092 | 816 |
|JFS         | 4225 | 806 |
|EXT3        | 4421 | 816 |
|XFS         | 4625 | 779 |
|REISER3     | 6178 | 793 |
|FAT32       |12342 | 988 |
|NTFS-3g     |10414 | 772 |</tt>

Column one measures the time taken to complete the bonnie++ benchmarking test (run with the parameters bonnie++ -n128:128k:0)

Column two, Disk Usage: measures the amount of disk used to store 655MB of raw data (which was 3 different copies of the Linux kernel sources).
