I would personally doubt it - I would expect errors, not slowness if
there are no inodes left.

ext3 file systems are not immune to fragmentation issues. Certainly
running low on disk space could cause the file system to become very
fragmented, which would reduce speed.

Systems like trac failing due to lack of disk space seem quite a
common occurrence. It might be worth investigating some tools which
will send an email if a system is unreachable, or disk space is
getting too close to the maximum. I'm sure there are tools for this,
but if not a cron job with a few lines of code cooud send an email
when disk usage gets close to ithe limits.
