Recent change - crawling slow speed accessing NAS
Although I have been plagued long term by the same problem others have posted about (slow browsing of large NAS directories on Mac OS) my NAS was behaving fairly well for its most common uses - stream...
Talked with Netgear support. Very helpful. I referred them to this thread for background. They suggested a full reinstall of the firmware. The only settings lost (back to factory defaults) were IP and FV admin login. This definitely made a performance improvement but it is still nowhere near as fast as it has been for the entire rest of its life.
I also testing accessing the NAS through a virtual Windows 7 machine on one of my Macs (one that is slow) the speeds there seemed better (although I was only able to test that through WiFi so I did not bother doing extensive testing).
I am leaning toward a Mac/AFP issue and perhaps with 4.2.23.
