Most of your results are in sync with the test done here..
http://aurora.zemris.fer.hr/filesystems/

specifically the big_file test results here:
http://aurora.zemris.fer.hr/filesystems/big.html

Judging from these results, xfs would be the best overall filesystem for
Myth boxes, as it only lags slightly behind jfs in deletes, and is
faster in writes...  This is probably the reason so many people swear by
it... duh! 8-)

And reiserfs looks like it scores pretty bad in deletes.  This test is
with an older kernel, so things may have changed slightly, but I'd wager
it's still pretty accurate.
