Your answers somewhere in HCH's "silent semantics" thread.

Basically reiserfs team aware that they do suck at file DELETES
and OVERWRITES. There seem to be a way to rectify this perfomance
issues in future (dynamic repacker?). Altough i was somewhat surprised
with this dd file benchmark... probably Alexander Zarochentsev knows
the answer.

Do a dd of a 50GB file, I expect a completely different result.
Basically, this is an artifact of reiser4 choosing to flush the whole
file once it starts to flush.
