It was neccesary, because 'tune2fs' can not change the number
of inodes... But there is a new Feature in preparation...
Dynamic Inodes...

All two...
I am working very much with Mailinglists and if I open for example
the "lkm" which has more then 7000 messages a month and reduce the
open time to 40% (max) you do not need to make "time" tests. :-)
My FileServer and my Workstation are on two GBit Ports of my 3Com
SuperStack III and I can get 70 MByte per second... with ext2 it
was arround 8-12 seconds to open a maildir of 45 MByte. Now I have
around 3-7 Seconds to wait wih ext3

The Journaling FS is faster.
