Previous value was set to avoid large cache value build up but we can clearly see this can cause lots of GC pauses which can lead to significant drop in performance. Change this value to 50% and decrease the value to 25% once the 75% cache size is used. To have a larger window for GC pauses. Another change is to only allow caching if a server has more than 24GB of RAM instead of 8GB.
Minio Quickstart Guide 
Minio is an object storage server released under Apache License v2.0. It is compatible with Amazon S3 cloud storage service. It is best suited for storing unstructured data such as photos, videos, log files, backups and container / VM images. Size of an object can range from a few KBs to a maximum of 5TB.
Minio server is light enough to be bundled with the application stack, similar to NodeJS, Redis and MySQL.
