Small-file performance was the main selling point of (v3) ReiserFS.

ReiserFS was really good. Too bad that nobody continued it. I’m not sure it was due to the original author story or due to it’s code being really hard to work with. But the FS was so much faster than ext3/4 on machines from 2000’. And I never lost a file with it. Something you cannot say about xfs or jfs. I’ve had to reinstall os so many times after system crash due to them getting corrupted.
