Interesting, I haven't noticed anything, in fact since I switched everything has felt faster. And I'm constantly sending large files to devices on other VLANs.
It will be slower with more latency and CPU usage.
I would highly recommend you read up on networking and the OSI model. Switching is extremely fast because it is done in hardware. Routing is slow because it goes though the CPU.
If all else fails you could create a dedicated vlan for storage access.
