Because prelinking changes the file in different ways on different systems.
 And, as I read this, your verify failure *and* the slowness are tied to
that message you got from rpm -V:  it's not rpm saying that, but the prelink
command it runs to "un-prelink" for verification, telling you that the
prelink data for the one that isn't acting right *is wrong*.  The slowness
would then be because at every symbol lookup it's hitting the prelink
failure and then looking up the symbol the hard way, one at a time.  (That
is, working prelink is an optimization, but *failed* prelink is a
pessimization, compared to non-prelinking.  System V R2/3 and Mac OS X
prelinking have the same optimization/pessimization issues, BTW.)

The likely fix here is to read up on the "prelink" command and see how to
fix or remove the broken prelink information from /sbin/mkfs.ext3.
