 From what I've read XFS main strong point is *reading* data from the 
disk faster than other FSs', especially as it pertains to large video 
files. But when it comes to writing and deleting, its performance is 
worse than other FSes. I've personally tried it and it didn't seem any 
faster than ReiserFS.
