What would happen if 90% of the Bitcoin miners suddenly stopped mining?

What would happen if 90% of the Bitcoin miners were to suddenly stop mining Bitcoin, i.e. the Bitcoin network's hashing power would drop to 10% of the previous amount.

Would it become more difficult for the rest of miners to mine? Would transactions take longer than usual?
