I'm afraid Norton is pretty fast (for what it does) compared to PCTools,
and there is no shareware/freeware utility that does as good a job, that
I'm aware of.

You can run only Norton Disk Doctor with the /Q switch, and set the options
to autorepair all. It will then be non-interactive and quite fast. Fast
enough that I can use it routinely on bootup for several machines here.
