[OmniOS-discuss] Resilver speed and record size?

I have a pool with 3x2 mirrors. SAS nearline drives. One of them died,
so I replaced it, and it resilvered overnight. Another drive is showing
40 grown defects, so I am suspicious. I want to replace it and reformat
it to see if any problems crop up. So. I plugged in a new drive and did
'zpool replace tank foo bar', and it's going along just fine. Kinda slow
though, compared to scrub. It started at about 5MB/sec and is now up to
13MB/sec, which is pretty slow. I've been googling and find posts various
places that the resilver speed depends to some extent on record size
(apologies if I am mis-stating this.) A good chunk of the data (180GB) is
in a zvol serving up storage to an esxi server for virtual machine disks
(zvol, so defaulting to 8K). Probably twice this is in nfs-exported
shares for veeam backup (defaulting to 128K). Originally everything was
nfs-shared, and I seem to recall resilvering being faster. Am I out to
lunch here? Any thoughts or suggestions as to what I should do ('nothing'
is a valid reply, of course) would be much appreciated.
