I installed the x64 version of Openfiler 2.3, and I created a software RAID 5 array with 4 1TB Hitachi drives, and have a gigabit ethernet connection throughout my house. However, I'm trying to transfer a couple of gigs of movies to my new NAS, and my transfer speed from my Vista box is about 10 MB/s. I know there's some overhead for software NAS, but this seems pretty excessive.

I have my volume shared out through SMB/CIFS, the filesystem is XFS, and I've got a good processor in there (AMD X2 5050e), so I'm not sure what the problem is. When I look at my Openfiler system, it looks like everything's being cached in memory.
