Just tried new version that supposed to have good speed increase and I'm surprised that was true! In my office I can get even 40% better speed then old version. Keep good work!
Piece of crap :((

Summary
I was trying iStorage Server for over 2 weeks and I must say that it is perfect solution for me! I can create a new target in just few clicks and export it over my network.
But that was not the most important point, since I have my own private cloud, I need to make sure it will be up all the time, even during 'storm' so I was interested in High Availability feature. With all my tests, iStorage Server was easiest to set up and use comparing to others like Open filer or Starwind.
GREATLY RECOMMENDED!
