As I understand this, quotacheck takes time proportional to the number of used inodes *and* proportional to the size of the file system. You don't have to run quotacheck on every reboot. Only if you have to run fsck is it necessary to run quotacheck. Also, even if fsck repaired the filesystem, the old quota state is probably a good enough approximation of the current (real) quota state. If you want to, you may instead run quotacheck sometime later to rebuild a consistent quota state. If you put check_quotas="NO" in rc.conf you will achieve this effect.
