Interesting, but hardly conclusive and the test doesn't take into account how different filesystems scale differently on higher/lower performance hardware. This simply confirms what I had suspected for a long time, the choice of filesystem depends on your specific needs.
In the generic use-case (I.E. a Debian system) I recommend XFS. I used to recommend ReiserFS, but XFS is simply a more mature solution. It lacks one or two of the bells & whistles of ReiserFS (E.g. tail packing) but overall it's a more solid option.
