Simple.  Resilver activity is throttled using a delay method.  Nothing to tune 
here.

In general, if resilver or scrub make a system seem unresponsive, there is a 
root cause that is related to the I/O activity. To diagnose, I usually use 
"iostat -zxCn 10"
(or similar) and look for unusual asvc_t from a busy disk.  One bad disk can 
ruin
performance for the whole pool.
