Have you looked at enabling write-intent bitmaps on your raid-1 arrays? With all the grief I have been having with RAID-1 recently, bitmaps have saved me very very serious amounts of time resyncing the array. Typically after my raid array has had devices/partitions kicked out (such as when loading -mm5) it takes only 2-3 seconds to bring each non-fresh device/partition back into the array and back up to sync (as opposed to 18 hours...).
