You should, of course, since you don't want to mount a non-checked filesystem.

Well, the resync will progress really slow until fsck completes (resync uses
idle I/O bandwith)

If fsck behaviour changes depending on whether the resync is completed or not,
then you really have a serious problem at your hands.
Resync shouldn't change what is read from the array, as it only rebuilds the
parity -- the redunant information -- and doesn't affect the ``real'' data.
