OK, this is kind of off-topic, but that behavior is to be expected if
your ReiserFS fs (hmm, can I say that?) uses the tea hash. Since you
mention a 2.2 kernel it's quite possible your fs was created while the
tea hash was the default. You might want to retry with the r5 hash,
since tea bogs down after say, about 500k files or so.
For more info on this, search the reiserfs-list archives for a thread by
me concerning freedb. I seem to have accidentaly "rediscovered" this
bug while testing deletion speeds :) The thread is a couple of months
old.
Hope this helps,
