Same request about Dan : which database are you using on which OS, and with 
which bacula version
This would help us a lot to understand your context.

Did you have modify the default serveur db ?
distribution tends to setup a minimal not optimized server ...

The indexes I've creade help dbcheck a lot (many hours to < 1 hour on some 
sites)
( don't forget to modify it's default mode choice 1: if you want your db 
corrected otherwise it's only a read operation )
