you could also try moving to ext4 if you want to experiment with filesystems, but try and get the latest kernel/distro before you do this.
The ext4 is suppose to be slightly faster than ext3.

Hello LUG Members,
I want to try XFS on my home system. I have read some articles saying XFS is faster than Ext3 but Less reliable than it.
Seriously what kind of slowdown are you experiencing?
No slowdowns. I just want to try, so was looking for LUGers opinion.
I would take the approach "don't fix it if it ain't broken" ext3 is very stable and comes with a good tool set for maintenance.
Use some other disk partition to experiment with the various journaling fs to whet your curiosity.
Sure.
