My one and only datapoint against this is when I put an SSL cert
in my Apache config...  My SS20 would spend several minutes waiting
for Apache to start before letting me log in then.  Don't know if
it was waiting for more key material from /dev/random, or if it
was precomputing and encrypting things, but it seemed like forever.

It might be nice to run something while fsck is doing its stuff,
but there's nothing else to run at that time.
