What do you mean by "improved" anyway??? If it works, don't touch it or you will screw it up... :roll:

You could setup /tmp to be on a tmpfs file system, set to noexec. While this doesn't have any speed advantages, it does mean that scripts (rootkits, etc) won't be able to be run from /tmp.

Don't screw with fstab if it's not broken. Besides, noatime for reiser is the only option you need to see in there for speed boosts (though obviously you'll not get atimes, which isn't desireable for production servers).
