I had to send one (of 7) member disk for RMA.
I notice that the system is very non responsive. 'top' shows

      PID USER      PR  NI    VIRT    RES    SHR S  %CPU  %MEM     TIME+ COMMAND
1365697 root      20   0       0      0      0 R  93.8   0.0 384:40.55 
kworker/u16:3+flush-9:127

This continues even when there are no user actions (ff, tb closed).

A few days ago it stopped, but today I see that it kept running all night where 
there were
period of inactivity for a few hours.

As another point: a few days ago I received a disk from RMA and the recovery 
went as fast as expected.
I then removed another disk to send for RMA.

Is this expected? Is there anything I can do to improve the situation?

If you have a hot spare and a lot of data, I could envision a
situation where a low priority thread takes several days to rebuild
the array. Or that has been my [limited] experience when failing over.
But it usually happens in the background, and does not affect
responsiveness too much.

I do not think this is the situation. I do not have a spare.

To show how slow it is, looking at iostat I see the writing is going at below 
100KB/s.
I decided to pause (virsh save) a VM, which needs to write about 8GB.
It is now going for over 30m and completed about 3/4 of the job...
