Why would disabling STP on the switch *shorten* the amount of time it takes for the port to come up? At least on Cisco switches, it takes ~45 seconds for the switching topology to converge with STP disabled. Shorter periods if you enable portfast or uplinkfast.

Example:

this second line makes the rest of the vlans freeze for 6-7 seconds

On the switch side (Juniper) the physical interface flaps. There's nothing
in logs/dmesg.


Might be, you have spanning tree enabled on the switch port and when the interface "flaps" it needs time to converge. Disable spanning tree on the port and the reset will be very short.
