Obviously it depends on both the software design and the power of the machine running SBS. Yes, the SBS web ui is slower than a purpose-built platform dependent compiled executable program would be. But even so, it can be pretty snappy and responsive on a suitably powered machine, or dog slow on an underpowered machine. And most consumer-grade NASs are underpowered. It appears that the DS107+ only has 128MB RAM and a 500MHz processor -- those are your binding constraints, especially the RAM.
I've run SBS on a comparable NAS (LinkStation Pro) and on an Atom-based small pc that is almost identical to the Vortexbox appliance, and the difference in web ui performance is enormous. Of course, both do a fine job of streaming music to multiple SBs. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it, and it's '100% wind powered' (http://www.cleancurrents.com/).
