You might consider using the noatime and notail options for reiserfs. 
noatime should speed read access up since the access time dosnt need
to be updated.  Some claim the notail option speeds things up at the
expense of some loss in storage efficency, but Ive never benchmarked
it to know for sure.  A true nolog option would surely improve
performance, but I dont think its really implemented yet.  Check the
mount options: http://www.namesys.com/mount-options.html
