Yes.. .it's not currently possible :) I think it should be.
Say the IO on your C* is at 60% utilization. If you do a repair, this would require 120% utilization obviously not possible, so now your app is down / offline until the repair finishes. If you could throttle repair separately this would resolve this problem. IF anyone else thinks this is an issue I'll create a JIRA.
