Seth,

XFS ussually performs better handling large files, and Reiser handling 
small files ....
I also think that File system like XFS could handle Large Directoreis in 
a better way: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/papers/xfs_usenix/index.html
Nevertheless, this thread 
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-January/018994.html  mentioned 
about poor performance for XFS ......
It would  be interesting to hear about production environments using XFS 
.....
