if the xfs filesystem was created "live" and had files added/deleted along 
the way it's likely to be more fragmented than a freshly created ext3 
filesystem which had a bunch of files copied to it right after being 
created... one more test you might want to do is a fresh xfs fs which you 
populate the same way you populated the ext3 fs.
