There are circumstances where a check is performed on ext3fs
partitions after a crash. Imho it would be very unwise to turn off
those checks: For instances they are performed, there must be some
reason that they are neccessary, and turning off the check may result
in data corruption.
Moreover, it's not bad at all to have the partitions checked from time
to time, just to make sure that everything is ok. Of course, it takes
some time on large partitions, but imho securing the data is
definitely worthwhile these few minutes. And having to recover from a
backup takes much more effort and time ...
