How long fsck takes depends on the number of used inodes, not the total
number. Barring a bug in UFS, you should be able to have as little
inodes as you want, especially if you know for sure what number to expect.

The only thing that might bite you is if the machine is (sometime in the
future) reassigned to some other duty that suddely requires a lot of inodes.
