How full ar they?  I have a 200MB drive, and (especially before
service pack level XR-6055) it would take longer as more files were
added to the system.  Right now, I've a 50MB OS/2 partition (35MB
used) and a 150MB data partition (110MB used), and it takes about 7
minutes to inspect the disk after an abnormal reset.  I've only had to
do this once in the last month, though, and it was a piece of code I
wrote that caused the crash (I fixed it, so nobody will be getting
this in their downloads :-)).
