How did you do this conversion?  Reiserfs exhibits poor performance if
you simply extract an archive of a different filesystem.

To get the best performance out of Reiserfs, you need to:

1. Extract/copy the original filesystem to reiserfs.
2. Make a new archive of the reiserfs system.
3. Reformat the filesystem and extract the second archive.
