5% reserved?

I have a 60gig hard drive in a linux box here formatted EXT3 (RedHat 7.2) and it has 5% of the clusters reserved for the super user. That's HUGE considering it's a 60gig drive.

df tells me:

Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 57147840 5247096 48997800 10% /


So there are (5247096+48997800) / 57147840 clusters unaccounted for. This works out to almost exactly 5%. This seems like a waste on such a big drive. Is there a way to tweak this number after the partition has been created? Or will it require a complete reformat?
