Actually, there are a whole bunch of performance issues with 1kB block
ext2 filesystems. For very small files, you are probably better off
to have tails in EAs stored with the inode, or with other tails/EAs in
a shared block. We discussed this on ext2-devel a few months ago, and
while the current ext2 EA design is totally unsuitable for that, it
isn't impossible to fix.
