Your disk (or that blockgroup at least) is horridly fragmented.

Run `dumpe2fs /dev/whatever' and take a look at the 'Free blocks' lists. 
If they are huge, you are fragmented.

We don't really have a fix for that.  It's surprisingly bad for an ext2
filesystem.

I usually keep a spare partition around, do a `cp -a' and swizzle the
mountpoints.
