Yes, I've done all of this and another thing - increasing journal size.
Years ago the default journal size was 32M but current mkfs versions use 
128M becuase this is more suited to todays hardware capabilities 
(operations/s). I had several ext3 filesystems that were created many 
years ago and I changed the journal size for the to 128M too.

Overall, I don't think the performance of ext3 is too bad compared to 
others.
