UFS is SO much better than all the FS's listed here, however it is only a Unix FS *shrugs*

I think that is very much personal opinion, and depends on system type, for example in my opinion UFS on solaris is much better that UFS on openbsd, since Sun have made so many alterations to the version of UFS that they use, to the best of my knowledge UFS on bsd isn't journalled.

Additionally as I seem to recall ext2 (which is most similar to ufs) benchmarks faster than UFS (although ufs can be more stable), and reiserfs benchmarks at about the same speed, please note that is based on memory since I can't find the benchmark results at the moment.

i would gracefully raise my hand for reiserfs..

the only thing i prefer it over ext3 is shutdown problems due to power failures and squid cache.

Regards

Very generally though, keep in mind that those benchmarks vary according to the size of the files used in the tests- some filesystems will "benchmark" better than others if the testing is done with large files, while other will perform better when dealing with smaller files. This is definitely the case when you compare reiserfs to ext2/3.
