As asked by Alex, I included in the test results the file fragmentation
level and the number of I/Os done during the file deletion.
Here are the results obtained with a not very fragmented 100-GB file:
| ext3 ext4 + extents xfs
------------------------------------------------------------
nb of fragments | 796 798 15
elapsed time | 2m0.306s 0m11.127s 0m0.553s
|
blks read | 206600 6416 352
blks written | 13592 13064 104
------------------------------------------------------------
And with a more fragmented 100-GB file:
| ext3 ext4 + extents xfs
------------------------------------------------------------
nb of fragments | 20297 19841 234
elapsed time | 2m18.914s 0m27.429s 0m0.892s

blks read | 225624 25432 592
blks written | 52120 50664 872
