There's a speed-hit associated with Journaling and it happens
at unpredictable times. (Caused only when you make changes to
disk contents -- reading them makes no difference.) It's not
very big, though, and you probably won't notice it unless you're
trying to save live video or audio to disk.

What comes to mind that scares me off
journaling is the amount of time it takes
to index for content in OS 9, which may
be a different thing entirely.

That's a difference thing entirely.
