High enough?  Wouldn't a higher speed limit mean more stress on the systems?
Its value is 1000.

MB/s) along with /proc/sys/dev/raid/speed_limit_max?

It's 200,000

What are you actually seeing for rebuild speed? Pushing the min up shouldn't matter with the max set high, but if you're not getting something like 200MB rebuild there's an issue of some kind. What's the stripe cache size?
I interrupted an array resyncing a couple of times without issues.
Only one time I interrupted an array during growth process and I had
an old version of mdadm (2.6.3) which didn't support resuming that. I
think Neil told me that 2.6.9 is the minimum requirement to resume.

It's 2.6.7.2.  Debian does not admit new software into its distro until they
are rock hard stable, unless it is a bug fix release.  I guess I'll have to
wait a few more days.
