If you were using ext2, a reformat to go to ext3 was *not* necessary.

I see. Did you know the main difference between ext2 and ext3 is
journaling? Which does not make *any* difference with reguard to speed
unless you are running 2.6.+ kernel. It makes recovery of a file-system
better.
Changing block size *may* have made a difference, but it would have made
the same difference in ext2.
