I installed Gentoo on my laptop a while ago using JFS. Why, do you ask? Simple. The limited information I could find suggested that of all the various journaling filesystems, JFS used the least CPU time for the majority of file operations. ReiserFS may be blazingly fast on a modern system, but on my Pentium MMX 166 with broken DMA for the disk, Reiser was murder. I hoped that JFS would be an improvement.

Unfortunately, I can’t remember if it is still running JFS, or if I had to switch it back to ext3 after a hardware failure. But I still believe that JFS is the least CPU-intensive of the journaled filesystems.
