Yes, but once you've selected the items to change don't you then have to click the "Check" or "Uncheck" buttons, which doubles the time? I was suggesting that clicking on a checkbox and then dragging across others would change the state of all of them, without having to click on a separate button.
This isn't the usual behavior of checkboxes (you have to both click and release on the same checkbox to affect anything), but given that there are so many checkboxes and they're all the same it makes sense in this situation.
