Hello, just for you to know (news from upstream):

Expect for the next kernel releases (if everything goes well) a dramatic decrease in statfs() time (without "usefree" option).

I have tested a patch from FAT maintainer (OGAWA Hirofumi) which reduces the time to about 6-8 seconds, in a 15 GByte partition (before it was 60 seconds)

(I applied the patch to Linus Torvalds' git kernel repository - 2.6.23-rc9 )

I include his patch here so you can test (for further info I suggest contacting him).

Regards,
