I do not seen an improvement of the raw transfer rate from what I reported in this thread:
Slow Network performance with ReadyNASOS 6.4.2 (RC1)
The transfer rate is still 40% slower than what I saw with 6.2.5.

I'm also still seeing poor SMB performance on my RN102 (running released 6.4.2).
I plan to try a factory reset - the volumes are very old, and I know that the settings used for btrfs have changed along the way. I'll report back if that helps.

I'd be interested to know if that helps. My volumes are only a year old, but they made changes soon after I was up and running. I'd hate to do a full reset, but I would if it sped things up significantly.

Downgrade to 6.4.0 solved this issue...

I was seeing reduced performance on my RN102 (but not my RN202). I did a factory reset, which resolved it. Now I am seeing 70-75 MB/s running 6.4.2.

With the latest 6.4.2, my max sustained network transfer rate was 37.0 MB/s or about 30% of network bandwidth. I have now backdated and rebuilt my system to version 6.2.5. My max sustained network transfer rate is now 63.5 MB/s or 53% of network bandwidth of 1Gbps.
So I think this says pretty much that the network transfer rate with the newest version of ReadyNASOS is about 40% less than it was on the last major release. So unless there is a specific fix for this going foward I will not be upgrading until this is fixed.
BTW, I'll have to reconfirm this, but on an earlier test (which I'll need to repeat once another major transfer is complete) this transfer rate was close to what I was getting on a disk to disk copy on my system.
