How many filesystems do you have?  If you look at ./etc.fstab,
everything where the final number is '1' (normally just the root
filesystem) should complete first, then everything with a 2 will run
at once.  If the other mounts are each on different drive/spindles
they won't conflict with each other and will complete in the same time
as running just the largest one of them.   If you are running fscks of
partitions on the same drive in parallel it will obviously go slower.
