This is no answer to the question, although it may be of interest:
There is an on-going discussion on the linux kernel mailing list about speeding
up fsck for ext3, see, e.g.

some (rather old) information is contained in

You say its very slow.
Does anyone know how much memory fsck needs to check a large filesystem?
Does it take more memory for a larger fs in a linear fashion? E.g.
OpenBSD needs 1 MB per 1 GB fs size to fsck. If the box has less memory
