I believe that journal is only wirtten to, when you make change at
filesystem level, like creating or removing files. 

Since rock storage is one file, journaling only affects it when you create,
enlarge or shrink it, not otherwise.

Thus, ext4 and journalling should not affect the speed of standad work over
rock store.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
