(Get the code!)
I updated the desscription accordingly. This is essentially bug 133567. The actual mounting is quick, and you can use "ls /media/mystuff/ to browse the device, but nautilus takes so long because it does statfs() to find out some metadata, such as remaining free space.
This can be tested easily with mounting a large VFAT drive, and doing "df -h" and "ls -l /media/mystuff". The ls will work instantly, while the df() hangs a long time. (Over a minute for my 500 GB drive).
