At the time, I had a long discussion about it on nahant-list (see the embarrassingly titled thread that starts here <https://www.redhat.com/archives/nahant-list/2005-October/msg00271.html>) with no resolution. And I brought it up again on the ext3 list in April.
It seems that some of the "performance sucks" feeling should actually be directed at the 3Ware RAID adapter that is common in those threads rather than the filesystem.
Using Bonnie against hardware RAID5 on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (PERC4 something-or-other using Megaraid driver) on ext3 gives 75 MB/s.
