They are not faster and logging makes them a tad slower. But it make them reliable and recover is very fast. XFS from SGI is state of the art(these guys know large files). ext3 is ultra reliable and backward compatible to ext2. ReiserFS has a fast algorithm and actually will be faster in most case vs even non-logging ext2. They are all good.
