I echo Mark's sentiments, though for a different reason. Softraid crypto volumes take time to fsck, yet are useful to use.
In my case I can wait 20+min for my personal laptop to be useful, or I can wait 5min and let the rest fsck while I get to be productive. The laptop has /usr, /var, /tmp, /home, /usr/obj, /usr/src, /usr/ports amongst other partitions. I've marked all but the first four as 'noauto' and then use the hotplug attach routine to fsck and mount the rest, which are not necessary for me to be productive and check email. Since this change, I've hardcoded the scripts, but would definately prefer the prior behavior.
