Bug Description

Did different tests under Ubuntu 10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 (all 32-Bit) with wipe installed from repositories: wipe is more than 10 times slower on ext4 (and btrfs with 11.10) in contrast to ext3. Try it yourself - but be patient :)

PS: unmodified default settings in /etc/fstab, executed as wipe -rf ~/testfolder/

Changed in wipe (Ubuntu):
