Status of ReiserFS + Journalling

I'm setting up a big fileserver here.
The storage will be exported via ftp, samba, nfs & cvs.
I will patch the selected kernel to support LFS and LVM, and the filesystem
will run on that.

I am very interested in ReiserFS, and success/failure stories about it.
>From what I hear, ReiserFS is working really good, basically it is
production quality, and the limited testing I've done seems to tell me the
same thing.
I have _not_ tested the journaling part at all, and would like to hear from
people that have.

What I would like is to have some info on how much slower ReiserFS is with
journaling, how long the journal takes to replay, and generally if there
could be any problems with the setup I described above.
For example, will ReiserFS with journaling still beat or pair "normal" ext2,
or if it's slower, how much slower?

It would be nice to hear some theory/thoughts but real users with loaded
systems is preferred/more appreciated.
I don't know what kernel to use for this system (2.2 or 2.4-testX) and what
the ReiserFS status is on 2.4 (2.2 I've tested (suse kernel)).

Many thanks in advance,

Magnus Naeslund

P.S. Sorry for spelling etc, no spelchekar
