I have FAT32 on my system. The only performance problems I have had is with
large directories. FAT has always had a problem with a directory with many
files and FAT32 does not change that.

Because of this I had to change the way I use my laptop (winXP and eCS). My
original plan was to share a directory with many subdirectories and a large
number of files. I quickly found this would not work, no performance problems
on NTFS, HPFS, or JFS but it would have taken hours to add new files to some of
the directories using FAT32.
