I did some further research. I believe the delay is caused when udisks-daemon 
is trying to open /dev/fd0. 
To verify my theory, I did a "sudo strace cat /dev/fd0". This command takes 12 
seconds to return from 
open("/dev/fd0", O_RDONLY)              = 3
 and 20-30 seconds before returning from 
read(3, 0xb1b000, 32768)                = -1 EIO (Input/output error)

By the way, there is no floppy disk drive.
