Thank you for the flowers.
Here is the reply I got:

> increase the timeout value.
If this is necessary something is wrong with your system. The test is
doing almost no work. It terminates almost instantly. I think you
might want to look at the problems.

So I looked into test-lfs.c and found that it tries to write to a tmp file in
/tmp.
So I created a ext2 partition and mounted that to /tmp.
After that test-lfs runs in under a second. With /tmp on reiserfs it takes 27
sec's.
So my first explanation that it is a reiserfs-low latency problem seems to be
correct.
I will update my kernel now to a more recent version and hope that the problem is
fixed.
Since Suse 7.1 ships with 2.4/reiserfs I think this problem is solved.
