That will give us a later kernel. Not much - still a 2.6.9, although it will have patches bringing in some later functionality. You can tune the buffer flushing period (normally done for laptops to prevent the disk spinning up - I have no idea what will happen if you set it right down, but it feels like you would be in uncharted territory there). You should be able to find info on tuning this if you look for stuff on laptops and ext3. Continuous write throughput sounds a bit more like something that XFS would do well.
