Subject: resize2fs shrink ext3 can be CPU limited

Hi,
When I use resize2fs to shrink a 153GB ext3 from about 53% full
to about 55% of its original size (thus becoming about 98% full),
then Pass 3, Scanning inode table, is CPU limited and a significant
fraction of elapsed wall-clock time (tens of minutes out of more than
an hour). Being CPU-limited for such a duration seems peculiar to me.
The behavior is reproducible. The details are at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=676683
including reports from oprofile.
resize2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
input: 1071971/9863168 files (0.1% non-contiguous), 21597266/39423744
output: The filesystem on /dev/sdc2 is now 22989038 blocks long.
