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.
