If you are using ext3 file sytem, you can add the following option in /etc/fstab file and that would save some time. EXT3 filesysystem keep last access time information for each file and it takes more time. If we disabled that option, then it would be much faster.
noatime,nodiratime

Personally I would not do this as you are disabling a security feature that very well may be needed if some file comes up missing or has been modified for some nefarious reason. Rather than do this, I would upgrade my server.
