These are all FAT32 partitions? Just to make sure that it's not the kernel that's bottleneck here, unmount the drive if it's already mounted (from a terminal as root or with sudo, if you eject the drive I think it may actually eject the device from the scsi bus so don't do this from the gui), e.g. umount -l /media/whatever and try manually mounting it, mount /dev/sdWhatever /mnt/tmp . Have you tried mounting ext3/4 or ntfs formatted drives through the gui? Does that also take a long time?
