You have to be a little careful comparing ext2/3 and reiserfs3. Ext2/3
hasn't stood still, and has optional features such as dir_index which
uses hashed b-trees to speed some things up.

See man tune2fs or man mk2efs for details.

But in general, if your Google results don't mention these features, and
aren't on a recent 2.6 kernel, treat them as purely of historical
interest.
