After this, MinimServer should run at normal speed. If it is running slowly, this could be caused by something else on the NAS that is running at the same time. You can use Resource Monitor to see how much CPU is being used overall and which processes are using the most CPU.

For others reading this who are still on DSM 6 and have an ARM-based NAS, you don't need to uninstall MinimServer when you upgrade to DSM 7. You can install the DSM 7 version of MinimServer from Package Center to repair/replace the previous DSM 6 version and this will preserve the cache. If you are on an Intel-based NAS, you do unfortunately need to uninstall MinimServer and Java before you can update to DSM 7. This is because of how Synology has implemented the procedure for updating to DSM 7.

Thank you for the explanation. I'll try to have a look at the ressources monitor.
