It should say:

/dev/hdc     /cdrom           iso9660   ro,user    0   0

Or:

/dev/hdc     /cdrom           iso9660   ro,nosuid,nodev  0   0

if you don't want users to be able to mount cdroms.

Now, as to why it is so slow, I dunno... Mounting a cd always requires
use of mount/umount, but it shouldn't take an entire minute.
