A binary compatible BFS will never be good with small files - the 
indexes have too much overhead. 
In Haiku, the situation will still be much better as it is in BeOS as 
a) we will have a real cache, and b) the B+tree implementation is much 
faster as well (mostly visible on write access, though).
However, I don't expect BFS competing with ReiserFS on this one - your 
Linux box will always be faster there for now :-)
