Copy/move between shares is sloooooooooooow...
I have SSH'd into my 316 and am doing cp and mv's... trying to move a bunch of data from one share to another (/data/share1 to /data/share2). It's slow. Like, really slow (maybe 90 seconds per GB)...

So it sounds like sometimes the move is turning into a copy/delete? The decision on that is made by Windows, not the NAS. The P2P client wouldn't have any special privileges.
Generally if you are moving within the share Windows knows that it can do a move, and not a copy/delete. If you are moving across shares, you need to open the full data volume (\\nasname\c) using admin credentials. If you open the shares separately (\\nasname\share1, \\nasname\share2) then windows will treat the two shares as separate "drives" and do a copy/delete. Similarly if you open \\ipaddr\share1 and \\nasname\share1.
