10GB is still a big important chunk of disk, whether the rest is 20GB or 82GB. Checking
it separately *will* speed up each check, and separating it into a separate filesystem will
make sure that errors on one part won't mess up the other part.
(Come to think of it, I suspect that the fsck speed is more dependent on number of files
than data size, though I don't know for sure.)
