You can change the filing system's options so that fsck is run less
often (or not at all), and then you have the responsibility of running
the checks yourself at a convenient time.
The relevant command is 'tune2fs' for ext2/3/4 filing systems; there
should be something equivalent for other filing systems.
Happy New Year!
