ext3 is basically ext2 with journalling glued on, so I'm pretty sure
you're correct.  I dug around a bit and the only performance enhancments
from ext3 apparently come from elevator writes (which Novell was doing 15
years ago, sigh).  No mention of ext3's directory structure was made that
I could find.

it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way
is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
