That still doesn't explain why it takes 90 minutes.  It sounds like your
hardware is slow, not the fsck.  I've sat through 700GB fscks, and they
took roughly 2 hours.  80GB shouldn't take 90 minutes.  Even 240GB
shouldn't take 90 minutes.
And i won't even go  into a lecture on why its a horrid idea to have many
large files on a ext2 fs.  I just hope you are aware that if your MP3
collection was on an xfs filesystem you'd never have to sit through a fsck
again, your fs performance would be much better, and you wouldn't be at
constant risk of losing everything during an ill-timed power outage.

Well, i've got both from my installs of XFree86-4.x.  You sure that you're
running 4.x and not 3.3.x?
