To get the fix for the anti-virus issue you can update to ReadyNASOS 6.5.0-T338 (Beta 2) (or later). Alternatively if you prefer you can stay on 6.4.2 for now and install the hot-fix (which is now available).
Thanks for your patience.

I've also experienced the same problems as described here after I upgraded to firmware 6.4.1. Shared files/folders were very slow over local network. I have only two "apps" installed: Anti-Virus plus and bit torent sync.
The problem dissappeared when the data-folder(s) was excluded from the Anti-virus "live scan". It is still slow on folders that have Live-Scan enabeld.
As a (possible) workaround I've scheduled full anti-virus scan at night when the NAS is not in use.
