  No, ext2 is significantly slower than a journal-less ext4 filesystem.

  This must be due mainly to the fact that ext4 uses an improved
block-allocator algorithm, one that merges the allocation of a series of
blocks to the same file in one run instead of $FILE_SIZE/$BLOCK_SIZE
runs.  I recently run a comparison test on an old 1GB USB pendrive
connected to a USB-2 port, here you are with the log:


[alessandro@wkstn02 ~]$ cat bin/bomb_filesystem.sh
#!/bin/dash

TESTROOT=/mnt/loop
MAXDIRS=100
MAXFILES=10

if mountpoint --quiet "$TESTROOT"
then I=0
     while test "$I" -lt "$MAXDIRS"
     do mkdir "$TESTROOT/Dir_$I" || break
        I=$((I+1))
     done
     I=0
     while test $I -lt "$MAXDIRS"
     do J=0
        while test $J -lt "$MAXFILES"
        do dd count=$((1024+16*J)) if=/dev/zero
of="$TESTROOT/Dir_$I/file_$J"
           J=$((J+1))
        done
        I=$((I+1))
     done
else echo "ERROR: \"$TESTROOT\" does not exist or is not a mountpoint" >&2
     exit 1
fi
