Seeing the info about the 10% performance hit - I have to wonder if I shoudl be doing the journaling thing on my aging G4/400 (AGP).

Also - what is its impact on video capture and things that already have troubles with disk IO?

Journaling just effects the writing of data to the hard drive, playback of video and audio should be fine.

Sorry, I didn't really answer you did I, long day.

Writing to disk for me (7300 450 MHz G4 and ATA 66 card) I only have approx. 3k per second less speed in writing to the hard drive. I used Disk Monster (from the CHUD tools) to benchmark the drive and the slowdown is minimal for me so you should be fine. If it doesn't work with video then just turn off journaling.

please test this out for us! Do some video capturing and test what kind of capture rates you can sustain with journaling on as opposed to with it off. Thanks!
