No, but I have run w2k3 and Ubuntu on the box on various occasions -
enough times to know that the performance difference was not a random
anomaly.  I also have a 2nd box that I've tested in the same way and
achieved the same outcome.  Not that hard to do because I have in the
past had Linux and Windows SOEs for both PCs so the time requirement
was minimal.

The difference in scan speed under Linux versus Windows is so vast it
is even audible.  Under Linux you can hear the ReadyNAS drives are
processing a lot of data almost from the second you hit the rescan
button.  Doing the same under Windows never puts the ReadyNAS under the
same "pressure", in fact there is no discernible audible difference
under Windows between the ReadyNAS being idle and performing a rescan. 
If it wasn't for the blinking of the ReadyNAS HDD activity LED you'd
think it was standing idle.
