My experience with my rn102 is that overhead due to compression reduced write performance to the NAS from 35MB/s down to about 8-9MB/s. This is using the 6.4.0 firmware, jumbo frames off, compression and snapshots on.
This performance was measured when copying MKV and MP4 files to the NAS, which are relatively incompressible.
Similarly, I experienced 4-5MB/s copying MP3 files (which with and average song, works out to be about 1 files per second).
