It would have been interesting to see how the reiserFS would have performed.

Also, it is not clear whether your benchmarks are for one client or many
clients running the tests simultaneously... the scalability as more clients
stress the server may be different depending on the platform (so Windows
may initially appear to be better, but Linux may scale better. YMMV).

As always, there are lies, damm lies, and benchmarks.
