As the title states. Does anyone have any info regarding the FreeNAS Mini, Intel Avoton C2750 and or C2550 sabnzbd jail performance? I am trying to figure out if they can handle downloading/par2/extracting well, or if things grind to a halt when attempting to do so. I've seen a few reviews of these boards, but nothing relating to their jail performance in this regard. Thanks for any input.

Is the workload embarassingly parallel? If so, the C27xx Atoms ought to work well.
The workload involves extracting files (zip, rar, 7z, etc), and parity checking and repair.
Agreed and point taken. I just remember working with this board and it was complete garbage. FreeNAS would grind to a halt when doing any extracting/parity check/repair. It was so bad even media I was streaming would stutter when sabnzbd would simultaneously encounter a file that had to be repaired with parity data or had to be extracted. Ever since then I've been weary of these integrated, low power CPU's. From what everyone is saying though, these C27xx are quite capable.
The problem is less with the CPU and more with the pool's performance. The jail will try to eat the data as fast as it can and that I/O is sometimes enough to make the pool have problems. I've had to tweak my scrub settings a little because my Plex jail would have problems keeping up with simple streaming. This isn't so much a CPU problem as it is a pool problem. Of course, the CPU *may* be a limiting factor, but that's why you set the number of cores to 1 or something. Let it slowly eat away at its work without interfering (too much) with other functions.
