I've found Pacman to run beautifully on a ReiserFS partition, but noticeably slow on Ext3. If you're someone who typically uses Ext3, give ReiserFS a shot. Even if it's just on your /var partition.

I've found pretty much the opposite to be true. ext3 does a great job of 
everything(including pacman), but doesn't offer any optimizations for 
raid0 users like me.
