Thanks for the clarification.
Does Reiser do this dynamically upon startup?

Reiser is Journaling file system. This means is logs everything it does
(removing files, creating,...) If the system crashed Reiser looks at
this logs and then it knows what was not finished (what it is
inconsistent on this fs) and it can fix it. So it has no need to check
the filesystem because it already knows what's wrong ext2 doesn't have
these logs so it needs to check the whole filesystem to check if it is
inconsistent...
