Actually, XFS is very fast at deleting very large files. I know, i do
DVD authoring all the time, Ext3 is simply ludicrous when deleting a lot
of very large project files, you have to wait and wait and wait... With
XFS, even a 50GB project gets deleted instantaneously.

Also, when writing real fast to really big files (think: video capture)
pretty much nothing beats XFS.
