Exactly the same behaviour here.  I tried in the meantime to delete
USB partition and re-create and re-format it under Windows, just to be
sure that using Linux fdisk and mkdosfs tools to create and format the
partition wasn't source the problem; and it wasn't indeed - mounting
it under NetBSD is still as slow as before.

Thanks.
