I can reproduce it on Karmic:

DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=9.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=karmic DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 9.10"

Scenario 1: myserver is powered down:

time mount -t nfs myserver.local:/Images /mnt/myserver
mount.nfs: mount system call failed

real 1m0.008s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.004s

Scenario 2: myserver is powered up, but nfsserver not running

time mount -t nfs myserver.local:/Images /mnt/myserver
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'myserver.local:/Images' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered

real 0m0.025s
user 0m0.000s
sys 0m0.012s

I think, mount.nfs should always work like Scenario 2
