Hi!
This patched version of dlm will probably resolve your issue, please try it.
http://www.bosson.eu/temp/dlm-kmod-1.0-1.el6.src.rpm
See detailed description in the list earlier ( Subject: [Linux-cluster] [PATCH] 
dlm: faster dlm recovery )
And yes, mounts and umounts with unpatched dlm are proportional to N*N, where N 
is a number of files.

Sincerely,
Yevheniy Demchenko
