FreeBSD's high-performance filesystem is called "FFS", which is used
by default.  There is nothing slow about it except for boot-time
filesystem checking on extremely large (hundreds of gigabytes or more)
filesystems after an un-clean reboot, which could take a while.  It
even has "peace of mind" (reliablility features) like some or all of
the filesystems you listed do.
