Mail servers with high I/O won't get much (if any) of a performance boost. It's an i/o issue not something that ext4 can help you with except possibly a faster fsck if things go down. Things like delayed allocation.. extents.. Don't help with millions of tiny files.

Faster drives and hardware raid with write cache. Better if you can have multiple disk sets and spread i/o around.

Do you think that under VMware ESXi it would be better or worse to migrate to ext4?
