Hey, here's my chance.  I know you guys are SQL/XML developers, and only
rarely use a production database under load.  On tho rare occasions you do,
have you developed any impression on how much difference a
compaction/reindex makes on EXT3?  On NTFS?  My ignorant impression is
"very  little," but I haven't played with a
transaction/data-entry system under load (they won't let me, and they took
away my crayons, too).

(I know on big stuff you'd have to discount front end diffs, net load,
muddleware - in other words, half the system, but I'm looking for general
impressions.  Rumors from your sysadmins will be gratefully accepted, too.)
