No protection, and as much small files as a full distro install has, plus some 
more source code for some libs. It's just 28GB that needs to be resilvered, yet 
it takes like 6 hours at this abysmal speed.

At first I thought it was intentional, to keep the system responsive, but then 
I read something about full speed. The replacement disk is on the same IDE 
channel as the one to be replaced, so performance won't be too high, but 
1.6MB/s is just poor.

I guess it's a general problem with my disk subsystem, because when I migrated 
my data from the NTFS drives, I also got write speeds along the 1.2-1.6MB/s 
line. I blamed the NTFS driver at first, but then that weird writing behaviour 
I posted about earlier plus this poor resilvering speed lets me believe that 
something else is wrong.

I could configure ata.conf with the driveX_block_factor parameters like 
described in man ata, since it defaults to 1 only, but doing so puts me in a 
boot loop (there isn't even an ata driver, just pci-ide, and putting those 
params in its config doesn't do anything).

Thanks for any help.
