The Hobbit - differences between film and book?

Just seen the film, read the book when I was younger - there was a lot in the film I don't remember reading about (I probably skimmed the book as a kid tbh though), did they add some of the history from the other Tolkien books to pad the film out?

I thought the film was a little slow at times and wondered if this was because Jackson squashed each LOTR book to 3 hours each yet seems to be stretching the one hobbit book to three 3 hour films..?
