Late to the party, but yes, it is a bug. Please report it (again if you already have). A few other people have stumbled upon this and a joint effort might get it fixed.

Hello,
Unfortunatelly for progress, but fortunately for my sanity, I will avoid upgrading to Mojave for a while, so I don’t have any feedback regarding performance under a fresh install.
Perhaps you’ll pioneer in that forefront?
Always with regards,

That is a great way/idea to migrate. For me, I don’t know if you recall, but I had a similar problem going from 10.12 to 10.13 and the only method that fixed it was fresh installing 10.13. So it was that fresh 10.13 install that I simply upgraded via App Store to 10.14, not years of garbage piled up. My SSD is always 60% empty in any case since I don’t want to kill it before it’s time. For now I have downgraded via fresh install and everything is running smoothly. I have this suspicion that upgrading via app store there is a bug that somehow limits SMB read performance. Have you had a chance to test the renaming of 1000+ files both in High Sierra and Mojave via SMB? Hint: Not a fun process in Mojave.

That’s good news. Was this a fresh install? Here is my screen shot from mojave. In High Sierra (since I’m not at the office now is 900R/600W. Same hardware, different OS.

Bob hello,
A couple of things you could check for if you have the time, is to simply upgrade High Sierra to Mojave instead of fresh installing Mojave. I suspect that’s where the bug of this issue lies. Somehow upgrading to the next system hinders SMB read speeds. (perhaps I’m also saying nonsense!). Then if you notice the issue, try a fresh install and see if it is fixed.
Regarding Qsirch, I am doing more testing. It seems to find exact files names, including the extension, but it seems not to search for folder names, or simply part of the file name. Much unlike spotlight, which indexes the ins and outs of files. In Mojave, even that exact filename search with the extension was not working though. I will do even more testing and report back here as well. Looking forward to your results.
Always with regards!

Bob thank you for offering,
I have since downgraded to High Sierra with double the (read) speed performance. Even sonnet, qnap and lumaforge are aware of this issue. Sonnet has even setup a system to replicate this.
Perhaps like last year’s update, if I had done a fresh format, the 500mb/s read limitation would have been lifted, but there was nothing I could do to get speeds back up to par.
Plus try renaming a set of 1000 files. Instant in High Sierra, takes 5 minutes to refresh in Mojave and does so in batches of 10 files at a time.
Plus other performance issues such as FCPX lagging after 10 minutes of use, so i downgraded and now everything is back to normal.

After upgrading to Mojave, spotlight search never worked. Downgraded machine back to High Sierra (reformat) since SMB performance in Mojave was a disaster. Spotlight search doesn’t work. On the latest QTS 4.3.5.0728 B20181013 (official release, not beta)

Right, so who ever runs into this – I decided to uninstall QSirch and re-install it – knowing it would re-index the drive, and even from the preliminary indexing it has already done, results are being found now instantly, both in the ‘Shared’ option in finder and while the mounted drive name is selected instead of ‘Shared’ in finder. Cheers!

Hello Bob,
We are both looking at the right section of finder (Shared) where it should work, but I get lots of disk activity and no results. Where as if I use Qsirch with the same search terms, they are instantly found. Am I missing something in the process?
Always with regards,

Mark Twain once said that good manners consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person. At the end of your email I see an icloud.com NOT a qnap.com, so if in your self-appointed title you represent QNAP support and you responded to me as a QNAP representative in the manner above, ‘terrible’ would be a dream description of QNAP’s support. I’ll make sure to mention it to them.
As for your ‘support’, your offer was to let you see if you could improve speeds, and cover your costs if you succeeded. Which clearly wasn’t the case.
Regarding the forums, since you practically live here, I refer to you since we have had past communication. Don’t mistake my friendliness for stupidity, so mind your manners!!…
And since we’re on the subject for any other poor soul reading these forums, QNAP support delays response to tickets is almost week long and the team is not knowledgable when it’s time to respond. – which was the ‘terrible support’ I was referring to.
And Bob, good support always takes care to read through properly, and not misread into what the other person is saying. I patched my Mac Pro 3,1 to be able to install MacOS 10.13.6 (with the DosDude patch). I haven’t touched any Sonnet drivers.
I know what your problem is, but you won’t get it solved by being passive-aggressive in the forums. Hopefully kids are not part of the equation, because that lack of patience will make anyone’s hair go white!!…
