Maybe the configured limit is set like this, because of that once (a part of) 
the scrubbing process is started it is not possible/easy to automatically scale 
down the performance to benefit client io.

100MB/s is sequential, your scrubbing is random. afaik everything is random.

I think you should be able to use the full performance of the disk when
ceph tell osd.* injectargs '--osd_max_scrubs=X'. 

I never tried increasing the individual scrub speed, maybe such a setting is 
available
ceph tell osd.* injectargs '--osd_recovery_sleep_hdd=0.100000'

Best is to stick as much as possible to the defaults.
