Oh, one other thing. You might want to try running "hdparm -t -t /dev/hdXX" under the old and the new kernel, and see if the hard drive transfer rates dropped suddenly. And let us know about your specific hardware configuration. I've seen problems, especially with latops in the Thinkpad T42 -- T60 vintage where due to issues of using the wrong disk drivers (due to the IDE/SATA/AHCI issues around compatibility hardware interfaces and more than one drivers being able to service the device --- but with wildly varying performance) responsible for very sluggish performance, both for fsck and for generic filesystem usage (especially right after the system is booted, when the page cache hasn't had a chance to be populated --- the inode, dentry, and page caches can hide a huge amount of hard drive performance issues, but right after the system is booted, these problems are much more easily visible.)
