im guessing here, but IIRC ext2 is supported by the firmware and not ext4.. so if you really are loading your kernel, initramfs, and such from ext4, it might cause some slowness. I also noticed on the pogoplug e02, when I tried F17, it was slow, but I think that had to do with USB 1.0 and booting off a usb thumb drive. (apparently uboot was only recognizing the usb port as usb1.0).
