OS 6.4.1 slow ... to the point of unusable
We just upgraded an RN102 to 6.4.1, which intially seemed to fix some backup issues we'd been working around, however we've just downgraded to 6.4.0 after seeing 6.4.1 being too slow to be usable (th...
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 see no evidence of anything malicious at this point. But it is curious that high end NAS are also affected.
That you everybody for the feed back in helping narrow down what is causing your units to slow down.
I have seen the AV cause this in the past, so it was an initial suspect for the slow performance. There are a number of moving parts in AV. There has not been any version updates to the AV in 6.4.1 (to my knowledge), but there is a chance there is a signature update that came out that may have caused this behavior.
Since I have suspected AV from the initial post; I have been looking into different configuration options to see if that would help performance. I did not have much luck yet. It sounds like I will see if I get additional eyes to look into the AV "update" to see what may have happened between the two version.
