It doesn't surprise me the least that it's not good at I/O. That's the reason why I suggested the HP. At least, it does decent I/O, if you want to believe reports. I would really also recommend to separate the router and = fileserver-functionality. AFAIK, the N40L supports Wake-on-LAN (and pfSense does, too), so you = should be able to wake it up even without getting up from the couch ;-) I never really got warm with the Soekris-stuff - but then, I'm in = Switzerland and PC-Engines was always very quick with shipping ;-)
