Oh, I thought this was a backup system. I always ramp up the speed on min & max to have the resync & reshapes finish fast, but at the loss of performance during that. You mentioned that you've unmounted the filesystem, so why does it make a different if you max the speed? Or do you have other services running? I think at the time I needed a new mdadm, I downloaded 3.0 which is the stable one for now (3.1 was pulled -- donno about 3.1.1).
