That was the main reason I went to reiserfs from ext2, fsck.ext2 of a 20G drive was painful back then, 10x20G, I'd need to power up just before going to bed.
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.
