[Bioperl-l] reducing time

[Gregory Wilson]

There is a review of journaling filesystems at
http://www.linux-mag.com/2002-10/jfs_01.html It is a little old now
(Oct2002) but worth the read.

Not to get into a FS war, but you could try ReiserFS.  Specifically the
quote: "ReiserFS is about eight to fifteen times faster than Ext2 at
handling files smaller than 1K." More about reiserfs is at
