One of the features of Ext4 is uninit_bg which if enabled at mkfs time should reduce creation time.
This can be turned on for ext3: "man mke2fs.conf" & /etc/mke2fs.conf for default profiles, or mke2fs -O to override it for a single run. I did this at least once for a large filesystem either with ext3, or with ext4 before lazy init became the default on ext4. Worked for me.
