Happened to me, too, when using an 'old' kernel (2.6.19, maybe). It seems that "big" reiser filesystems might take quite a long time to be mounted, if umounted correctly (quite absurd, since a dirty disconnect takes less time to be recovered...).
Now I upgraded to a newer kernel (2.6.22-tmb-laptop-2mdv) and mount is nearly immediate on same HW. Maybe some extra checks in reiser code that, while nearly undetectable on internal drives, slowed down external ones? But I think it's not USB-related.
