[opensuse] Filesystem corrupted or what?

Hi People, openSuSE 10.2, never had a problem with filesystem but suddenly it seems it has become "bad" as it takes something like 10 or more seconds to open a file, especially the biggest ones, and in the meanwhile it doesn't allow to do anything else but wait. I've already run fsck (ext3) to check it but no error is shown and yet I still have big troubles working with big files (>100MB). In addition, during the wait, the hard disk sounds like it is doing such a big work that it's so busy it can't even move my mouse. Quite strange. Could it even be an hardware (hard disk) problem?
