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...

See below.
Jumbo frames on, 9000 MTU set on the Desktop.
Optimize for OS X: Off (I'm a windows only shop)
Enable Fast USB Writes: On (probably no effect)
Disable full data journaling: Yes
Disable journaling: yes
Enable fast CIFS writes: Yes

Detailed Benchmark Results
Buffered Read : 44.64MB/s
Sequential Read : 37.67MB/s
Random Read : 27.69MB/s
Buffered Write : 47.00MB/s
Sequential Write : 35.79MB/s
Random Write : 36.94MB/s
Random Access Time : 10ms
This is a ReadyNAS NV with 256 MB and 4x 750 GB Seagate drives with X-RAID. Network is a Netgear GS105. Computer for benchmarking is a Dell Poweredge 400SC server with 2.4 GHz processor, Intel 1000 MT Lan.
Jumbo frames are on.
So, now I'll just see how that transfer rate holds up while reloading all of my stuff from the PC to the ReadyNAS.
Update: After 8.5 hours of real world data transfer from my temporary storage back to the ReadyNAS, the average write speed is 25 MB/s.
Overall, still pretty good. Better than I was seeing before....
