Bought a new 750G hard drive today, so I thought I'd test out the 
formatting speed question. All tests on USB2 connection to same computer.

Format as ext3 - 10:10 (That's 10 minutes ten seconds)
Fsck as ext3   - 11:30 (No files)

Format as NTFS (quick) - 00:14
chkdsk (no files)      - 00:06

I'm pretty sure ext2/3 have control information proportional to the size 
of the drive, where NTFS doesn't.
