Optimizing the EXT3 file system on Linux
There are some things you can do to give ext3 a boost when you just want speed.
Mount Options noatime,nodiratime
noatime
Do not update inode access times on this file system (e.g, for faster access on the news spool to speed up news servers).
nodiratime
Do not update directory inode access times on this filesystem.
This is one of the quickest and easiest performance gains. This mount option tells the system not to update inode access times. This is a good option for web servers, news servers or other uses with high access file systems
Also from the man pages.
commit=nrsec
Sync all data and metadata every nrsec seconds. The default value is 5 seconds. Zero means default.
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
