And then I did this to make it permanent.
Now it takes five and a half minutes to mount the second Mandrake 9.0 installation
disk. The problem is still not fixed.
Once mounted, however,
ls /mnt/cdrom
is nearly instantaeous, but
ls /mnt/cdrom/Boot
took 34 seconds. I unmounted,
umount /mnt/cdrom
and the umount finished in only 14 seconds.
Presumably tht ls /mnt/cdrom could be satisfied from some cache or other,
and didn't actually have to consult the CD.
In case it is relevant (supermount seems to work by changing /etc/fstab),
here's the contents of /etc/fstab:
----- cut here
/dev/hdb8 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda8 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom iso9660

No mention of supermount anywhere.
