Good for you. Some users on ARM systems who have tried downgrading didn't find it went so smoothly.
We are looking into performance issues for USB backups that have been reported on 6.4.x firmware.
The ReadyNAS OS 6.4.x update was a major update including a major update to the Linux kernel from the 3.0 kernel to the 4.1 series LTS kernel.
Doing a major kernel upgrade brings a lot of benefits such as new kernel features, filesystem improvements, other enhancements and bug fixes. Doing such a major upgrade encountering a few issues is not unexpected and we've been fixing issues that have been encountered, most recently fixing the anti-virus issue in 6.5.0 Beta 2.
Looking at some of our competitors, some of them are running much older kernels (e.g. 3.10) so they will run into some issues that are fixed in the kernel we are using.
