It depends on the kernel version, there were some nasty bugs in kernels
2.6.0 up to 2.6.9 IIRC that can corrupt your database if you use forced
writes (sounds counter intuitive, I know). For kernels 2.6.10 and above
you should be fine.

But it's still slower than ext3/4 and reiserfs when forced writes are
on. I did some bencmarks about 2 years ago and it was about 25% slower
or random insert/update/delete stuff. Of course, each benchmark can be
tweaked, I just tried typical load by users of my application.
