I thought I'd be smart and put my ROM collection on a new Gigabit NAS.

Games load slower which is to be expected, but ClrMame is INCREDIBLY slow across the NAS. I know SMB isn't the greatest for small file access, but after 5 minutes it was still on 0%. I look at the network traffic and it's about 1500 bytes a second (what the heck...).

Any ideas on speeding it up? I'm starting to think my NAS is a total wash.
