I currently run a test with RC28, but it is very slow, because of lots of 
" stalled for 1356 secs in APPEND".

I see that you haven't included the patch:

in RC28, is this intentional?

Doh, hm, I'm back to ext3 then.

When Ext3 opens a directory with many many files, the whole system slows 
down, an user managed to issue a tremendous slow down via NFS on the 
server. :-(
