I can confirm this. Having my cd drive spin up when starting nautilus 
really slows it down. Great to get this filed qnd fixed for 2.4

Hi

I've noticed that sometimes nautilus starts really slowly. For me it
seemed like the slow start with Windows' Explorer when it reads the
volume names from the cdroms. A bit of investigation showed me that it's
indeed the same cause: nautilus' volume monitor reads after launch (in
function mount_volume_make_cdrom_name <-- mount_volume_make_name <--
load_additional_mount_list_info) the volume monitor of inserted cds. If
the cdrom drive(s) is/are powered down, this takes a few seconds.

IMO we should avoid spinning up the cdrom drive on nautilus launch. I
vote for speed and would abandon the cdrom volume names for it.
