Fsck takes a long time on VPS because VPS servers are usually:
very large sites + an OS + cPanel * "X" servers
which take up a lot of disk space that need to be checked. Basically its like checking 15 to 20 or so dedicated servers and it cannot come back online until Fsck checks them all.
Most people on VPS are on the upgrade path to dedicated and that is why they have such large sites.
It is one of the largest drawbacks to VPS hosting IMHO.
