Upgrading to mountall 2.15 resolved the problem on both machines.
Netbook scan about 10 seconds, desktop about one minute
(down from 10 minutes and one hour).

Using lucid-proposed can be *far* easier than the complex Wiki page suggests, but it's been made immutable/uneditable! You can do the entire thing from within Synaptic:
1. System / Administration / Synaptic Package Manager
2. Settings / Repositories / Updates / check "Proposed" / Close / click "Reload"
3. Quick-search for item, mark for upgrade, click Apply
4. Settings / Repositories / Updates / uncheck "Proposed" / Close / click "Reload" / close synaptic

Anyone can try this now to test mountall 2.15 ... but after that, who has the authority to put this simple procedure at the top of the 'immutable' Wiki page instead of the current scary paragraphs of terminal hacks?
