Same as ext2...

That's an inevitable penalty from the way ext3 does journaling --- you
get two copies of data if a filesystem operation updates a block that
is still being journaled (because we need to snapshot the old copy to
write to the journal). That's done when ext3 notifies an intent to
modify the old block, so all those copies show up in
do_get_write_access.

I've got a fix for excessive CPU time spent here.
