I’m running a clean install of Ubuntu Jaunty with EXT4 filesystem, and I’m highly surprised on how fast it is. I already knew booting was going to be fast as for several reports, but I/O filesystem operations are very fast as well. Applications open faster as well. This is one of those times I’ve seen such a big difference between Ubuntu releases. I can definitely say, that this is one of the most powerful and advanced desktop operating systems in the world.
