FWIW, I downloaded Ubuntu's reiserfsprogs source (apt-get source
reiserfsprogs), applied the patch above, compiled it (./configure &&
make) and manually installed reiserfsck (sudo cp fsck/reiserfsck
/sbin/). Then I rebooted and the 10 seconds of delay were gone: my boot
is now 10 seconds faster.

So I can confirm that the very simple patch above, that simply removes a
sleep of 5 seconds, works as expected for me. I hope this patch can be
integrated into ubuntu.

[[[ I'll notice that ReiserFS is still the worst offender in my boot time: it 
still takes around 20 seconds to mount (thought it's now full I/O time, the 
idle is gone). I think this is because of the scan check performed each time 
the drive is mounted. This is handled by another, more invasive, patch here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/reiserfs-devel/msg00682.html
But this is for another day (and another bug). ]]]
