I may be wrong, but I believe that Reiser is now decried because
1:  Reiser is in the justice system for criminal activity not related to 
software, and
2:  Because of item 1, Reiser will probably not be writing any improvements.

I'm using Reiser on my Linux machine, and it works fine.  I don't know

faster than ext3.
