Is your process even disk throughput bound?  If not, you may be 
agonizing over a decision that needn't even be taken if the "tried and 
true" and default supported file system (ext3) is "fast enough" to avoid 
becoming a bottleneck.

That's where I find myself so I've taken the easy way out, for now, and 
have stuck with the standard file system.
