Not joking, is it that slow? A month means it is about 20 times slower 
than the HW it runs on.

Why not ReiserFS? I have been quite happy with it and it is in the 
unsupported kernel package. Much less hassle. I tested all journalled 
filesystems again about a year ago and performance wise XFS and Reiser 
were about as good. JFS was dissapointing because it couldn't handle big 
directories. It died when there were over 80 000 files (or something 
similar, it was a year ago.), so it can't be used. The only thing Reiser 
lacks is ACL support, which could have some relevance if I had any 
wintendo machines.
