Are you running this wired or wireless? The bitrate (36-48mb/s) is pretty steep.
You are using upnp to serve the file which should be fast but it might be worth testing ftp or smb to see if the NAS works better with those when talking to XBMC.
I'm on a gigabit wired network, my NAS has also a gigabit interface, therefore I don't expect the NAS to be the bottleneck (while running the tests I can tell you that the CPU didn't seem to be overwhelmed, it is a qnap ts-239 pro).
Unfortunatelly I don't have a an extremely powerful computer around with a wired network interface to run test with (just a MacBook air). I tested Samba and got similar poor results..
