Review by uniprocessor benchmark perhaps. However Reiser4 is new code. The original extfs on Linux was not very good either while ext2 was excellent.

Looking at the authors maintenance record I think is important but every single star Linux kernel contributors first major contribution was generally not very good. Alan
