best filesystem for an SSD?

I just got a Patriot Inferno (Sandforce) SSD, and am about to fresh install Arch on it. (Currently have Arch64 on a regular HD with ext4)
I'm wondering what filesystem, or what tweaks I should do to take advantage of my SSD.
Are there good tweaks for ext4, or should I try an SSD optimized filesystem (I've heard NILFS2 is good on SSDs) --obviously I'm just itching for btrfs to become stable, but I need something until then!
appreciate the advice.

Check the wiki and with a forum search you'll find some SSD discussion threads that go over some of the recommended tweaks:

Edit:  that said, I use ext4 on my SSDs.

Yes - there are any number of threads on SSDs already...
