I don't know why, but the Readynas systems (at least consumer ones) use file level iSCSI targets, block level ones would give greater performance. But that's not as painless/flexible to implement and use, as you have to dedicate whole volumes/partitions on the device as iSCSI targets.
iSCSI is fastest access to the ReadyNAS on Ultra and Pro my experience (Much faster and have possible to loadbalance if use two NICs)... Where do you get the 25-30% slower (Have you tested)? That Netgear using file instead of volume to iSCSI is because its easer to implement, but volume is generally faster.
