I think they found on the M4 that by putting a lower speed limit on it increased the capacity. As Apollo says above you get 3 lanes all doing 50mph and bunched in tight. Leave it at 70 and they leave more spaces and flit around and also hit the brakes more often which sends a ripple of slowing behind them. So it may end up staying on permanently.
Oddly my daughter is in Brum at Uni and is looking to move house at the moment. We have been looking at houses and there was one right by the motorway at the M6/M5 junction on the elevated section. I am guessing the residents love the lower speed as it makes the road so much quieter.
