Hi again.
Heres another Problem I have:
When Filesystem check is run on startup its incredibly slow. It takes like 20 or more minutes, depending on which HD/Partition is checked.
I have a 320GB SATA-II HD, so I thought it might be a bit faster. I have one 80GB data partition(ext3), which takes the most time if checked. There is also an 50GB FAT Partition which I use under Windows and Arch, that also takes quite long.

Ext3 IS slow on fsck. For such big partitions try reiserfs or xfs

Since ext3 is a journaled file system you really don't need the fs checks.
To cancel automatic fs checks, first boot with a live cd (Arch install cd should work). Then assuming the ext3 partition is /dev/sda1, you can cancel the automatic fs checks this way:
tune2fs -c0 -i0 /dev/sda1
Check out the man page of tune2fs for more info.
