File compression performance is pretty good, hitting mid table again in both large and small file tests, matching the Gigabyte EP35 from the last generation and still performing faster than the nForce boards, as well as the MSIs.

In large file decompression it again does pretty well, matching other boards like the Gigabyte EP45-UD3R and Asus P5Q Deluxe. However, in small file testing it consistently sat slower than everything else on average. It's not by a huge margin, but it appears many small files written to disk is a bit of a thorn in the side of DFI's P45 JR.
