Hello!

As I understand, ext3 is just ext2 with journalling capabilities. Why the heck one should have journalling overhead in the file system, when Oracle does the same thing anyway for it's datafiles?

Only reason I see, is in case of crash or frequent reboots linux will scan non-journalling file systems for problems. But any journalling affects overall performance (for obvious reasons).
