I had the same problem with my external USB HDD Samsung G3 Station 1 TB,
formatted with vfat from the manufacturer. The delay from mount to appearing
the Dolphin was 90 s.
I found the bug 581585 - plasma desktop (KDE4) freezes during the free cluster
scan on vfat removable partitions -
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=581585. The workaround described
there solved the problem with long delay. If the vfat partition is mounted with
the option "usefree" (without scanning the disk), the mount process is almost
instant. However I don't know what happens when the trusted value of free
clusters is wrong (man mount). Can it damage the filesystem?
I have openSUSE 11.2 32bit, kernel 2.6.31.12-0.2-default #1 SMP, KDE 4.3.5
