I tried to flac a wav file yesterday on my ReadyNAS Duo (base model). It was pitiful. Far quicker (i.e. >> 10 *) from my fairly ordinary (Celeron 2.6 GHz single core) NFS client connection to the data on the NAS. Definitely a processor set up for file serving only. I guess these units were built before the Atom. With either whatever the CPU is (cpuid won't apt-get) or the Atom, power (sorry, slaps wrist, I mean _energy_) consumption is largely the discs. Big difference on the meter (http://www.altronics.com.au/index.asp?area=item&id=K4600) when they spin down.
