When your kernel was recompiled, an option flag was turned on in the
ReiserFS code which activates a good deal of internal consistency checking
for the purpose of debugging.  Enough checking, in fact, to slow
performance down.

Enough that you will probably notice (at least I did, anyway.)

If you enter the kernel configuration system -> File Systems -> ReiserFS,
turn off the 'Have reiserfs do extra internal checking' option and
recompile/reboot.  That should take care of it.
