[ROOT] ROOT 20 times slower

Dear ROOTers,

I was using ROOT version 3.01/06 for some time. Using h2root, I converted
a 50K event ntuple made with ATLFAST into a .root file. I used the
TTree::MakeCode() method on the root file and created my script which
took about 30 seconds to run with version 3.01/06. 

I downloaded and installed the binary version 3.02/07. That exact same
script now took 10 minutes to run! Another side effect (related, perhaps)
is that a segmentation fault occurs when I run this script for the first
time after starting ROOT. The segmentation fault is non-fatal and the
interpreter recovers.

I can't figure out where the speed is lost and why the segmentation fault 
occurs. Maybe it's a backwards non-compatability? Any idea would be
appreciated.

I'm back using 3.01/06 for now.


Thanks,
	-Kalen
