I don't know what could cause that, but anyway (in the order they occur 
to me, not in order of importance):

  Check the kernel log for i/o errors.

  Check the smart log of the HD for same.

  Try mounting "noatime,nodiratime" (my ext3 parts. are mounted 
  "rw,noatime,nodiratime,acl,user_xattr"

  Run speed tests on both parts. using hdparm -tT
