Precisely. Ext2 was and is pretty much useless on large filesystems because one needs to take a day off work every 20 boots. With reiserfs, at boot only the journal gets replayed (automatically when mounting). A complete reiserfsck takes a lot longer too. Nobody deemed it necessary to run a reiserfsck at boot. Why is it deemed necessary to force a run of e3fsck at boot? It's a journalling fs, it's expected to cope.
