One thing to check (if it's IDE drives) is that they are working in DMA mode - use hdparm /dev/hda, etc. to check and force DMA if necessary (although you might need to re-compile your kernel to include the correct drivers for your IDE hardware) It'll still take a long time with 250GB drives, though. Other things you can fiddle with are /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_min which will affect resync speed versus array accessibility during the recync.
