I haven't been conducting controlled experiments, but I have been moving
a large pool around recently via a series of zpool replace operations,
and so have been keeping an eye on a bunch of resilvering.
The one conclusion I have so far is that, for the pool I'm moving, the
time to complete a disk-replacement resilver seems to be largely
independent of the number of disks being resilvered (so far, I've done
batches of up to seven replacements) and in the same ballpark as a
scrub.
To be conservative, I'm moving only one disk per raidz group per
"pass".
