Performance

At Control Panel > Performance > Performance Options, you can tune system performance and enable Memory Compression.

System Performance Tuning

To enhance performance, you can select one of the following criteria for allocating system resources based on the services you are using:

Data transmission (high throughput): This option maximizes data throughput during service operation.
Response time (stable latency): This option keeps latency within a stable range, which is suitable for services that require stable operation.

Note:

System performance tuning is available on the following series of models with the Intel 64-bit architecture. For more information, please visit Synology website.

Memory Compression

You can enable Memory Compression to improve general system responsiveness under load by compressing the least recently used data in memory.

When you have multiple applications running and the memory begins to fill up, the dynamic Memory Compression shrinks the size of seldom-used items in memory, minimizing memory usage. When the items are needed again, they can be instantly uncompressed. This reduces the need to read and write memory swap files on disk, improving efficiency and responsiveness.

To enable Memory Compression, simply tick the checkbox.

Note:

Memory Compression is available on specific models only. For more information, please visit Synology website.
