Strange. I have not really seen this behaviour on RHEL3. I have a few servers with 870GB partitions mounted on them - they don't take more than 90 seconds for a power-on to login prompt, even after a hard reboot (that too because initializing the RAID controllers takes time). For this slow-fsck option, I have to press 'Y' when it asks me "Press Y within 5 seconds to force a filesystem integrity check". Looking at the RHEL rc.sysinit, this behaviour seems to be controlled by setting the option AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK in /etc/sysconfig/autofsck. If set to yes, then the -f option is passed to fsck.ext3. The prompt itself is controlled by the setting the option PROMPT in /etc/sysconfig/init. Don't have a FC box handy to peek into its defaults.
