The "fsck that is fast" that you're thinking of is the one with the reboot-after-power-failure.

the fsck I'm talking about is the one that happens once-every-half-a-year (provided you reboot that often), even if no unclean reboot ever happened.

The filesystem I'm talking about is a bit extreme. It has more than a billion filenames. (only about 67million files).

If systems continue to be installed like this natural growth will ensure this to become a problem at some point in the future.
