I don't see this as hugely surprising. ext3 uses more CPU than ext2.
If you are using up the CPU doing other things, then naturally ext3
will take a longer wall-clock time to complete the same tasks as ext2.
I know that Andrew has been doing a bunch of work to reduce ext3 CPU
usage/locking/etc., but I think that is all in 2.5 kernels.
Cheers, Andreas
