It depends on the level of the philosophy text as well. Studying Kant and then subsequently applying his philosophy to the "real world" in a novel and interesting way is going to be an extremely difficult task. Likewise, writing new philosophy that is worth reading will be every bit as difficult as researching/ writing upper level physics and mathematics. That being said, philosophy in general is an easier subject to learn and study than highly technical subjects like math or physics which require immense amounts of background material just to even understand what some of the questions are.
So, as an undergrad major philosophy is far easier than math or physics when it comes to grades and exams and shit. But, as a creative branch of study it is every bit as difficult to make worthwhile philosophy as writing good mathematics. Probably even more so.
I say all this as a math undergrad getting raped into the shadow realm by complex analysis.
