Doesn't sound like a fsdevel issue since it seems to be independent of filesystems. More like some generic block layer thing. Adding Jens (and quoting the whole thing) Jens, any ideas? Most of your stuff came in after -rc2, which would fit with the fact that most of the slowdown seems to be after -rc2 according to Jeff. Jeff, more bisecting would be good, though.

The latest kernel is really slow mounting /dev/sda1 (fs > independent) ... 0.529sec. Kernel 3.6.0 took 0.012sec, Kernel > 3.7.0-rc2 took 0.168sec. Again, these are very early results.
