    This would tend to suggest that the repacker should not run constantly,
    but also that while it's running, performance could be almost as good as
    ext3.

    So you run your own benchmarks, I'll run mine... Benchmarks for
    everyone! I'd especially like to see what performance is like with the
    repacker not running, and during the repack. If performance during a
    repack is comparable to ext3, I think we win, although we have to amend
    that statement to "My filesystem/database has the same or bigger
    perfomance numbers than yours."
