I don't personally think that this is much to do with Antivirus (at least for me).

I also got the crashes that others got, but those seem to have abated since 6.4.2 and I've not had one (though I am hesitatnt to say they have gone away completely, as originally when I got 6.4.0 I didn't seem to get system lockups - that took a while to start happening).
Here's what I'm seeing from my RN104. I'm running the NAS tester from a RAM disc so as to rule out my PC's internal RAID being any sort of problem.

As mentioned before, this 25-30MBps performance is half of what I was seeing under 6.2.5.

I was seeing that also, but a factory reset restored full performance.
