4 weeks into a new job and being told I’m too slow and asking too many questions

I'm 4 weeks into a new job working in a slightly different area from what I'm experienced in but in the same profession. Personally I am happy with the progress I have made and feel I have learnt a low. However, I was called into a meeting with my boss yesterday and told I am perceived by my colleagues as asking too many questions and they think I am taking too long to complete tasks I've been assigned. They also said I need to prove myself and change my colleagues perceptions of me. I have 5 years experience in my field and a masters degree in my profession. Now I feel completely deflated and am planning an exit strategy. Am I over reacting? I responded and told them I have been in the job for only 4 weeks and am still learning.
