Well, gnunet-check is known to be sloooooooow.  It was never meant to be run 
by anyone but developers who want to detect inconsistencies caused by bugs.  
Of course, it turns out to be useful for users that screwed up (removed 
files, system crash, etc).  But it just cannot be made fast.  So, if you have 
the patience, let it run, it's probably ok (unless you're using the latest 
CVS on 0.6.1d databases, Igor reported some problems there).  I doubt the 
console messages are a problem (typically we're IO bound), but -L NOTHING 
turns them off.
