Readynas OS 6 Massive Performance Decrease

Back to the main topic - I can only think of 3 reasons for the slowdown: 1. Memory issues - using swap 2. Protocol problems, but then I'm guessing it's uses standard Linux implementations 3. Other processes interrupting, perhaps the relevant processes need to be less nice, or the scheduling has changed 4. Something else :D

There shouldn't be a problem with memory - I actually upgraded the unit to a 2GB ram chip (of course, still receiving the same speeds with the 1GB chip - tested just in case).
I have found after doing some checking that 2 of my Green's have ~500,000 LCC thanks to me forgetting to adjust the idle timer. I'm guessing this could be the cause of the clicks, not sure if it's causing the speed issue.

I also did some more research on the Red drives - which apparently offer a URE of 10^14. Which is also bad for raid recovery.

Unfortunately, the only other good option it seems (ignorant of other brands) is the RE4... which is far outside my price range ($350 per 3TB 64M cache drive here).
