xiafs is fastest. I measured it many times because I wanted to use
ext2fs but didn't want to give up xiafs speed. I do hope ext2fs will
become as fast as xiafs soon.
ext2fs uses a smarter block allocation scheme, but somehow it doesn't
seem to pay off. Maybe with SCSI this situation is different however.
