Post your performance results
I thought it might be interesting to see what kind of performance everyone is getting with IO Meter so that we can compare what we're getting. So I thought we could all post our results in this thread...
...and ran some informal tests.

Checked ReadyNAS to verify network error counts were zero after each run.
I disabled jumbo frames for everyday use. Read perfomance is more important for me.
