True, dat. I find that scrubs start very slow (< 20MB/s) with the disks at
near-100% utilization. Towards the end of the scrub, speeds are up in the
250+ MB/s range. It's on very slow disk (8x WD Green), so the seek penalty
is high.

I suspect this is because data and metadata has been scattered across the
disk due to churn from snapshots, etc. I've never noticed a slowdown in
regular use though, in fact local disk on my clients tends to be the
bottleneck when copying files.
