If you don't need that many inodes, using -T largefile or largefile4, or
specify a smaller number of inodes will speed things up quite a bit.

I'm currently working with a testing system that involves running
mkfs.ext3 on some pretty large devices on a regular basis. This is

speed this up. Understood that the end result might be a filesystem
that has less of a safety factor (say, fewer superblock backups) but
the tradeoff might be worth it in this case.
