are you browsing your files via artist, album, etc. or are you using music folder to browse. SbS is really designed to use tags and album, artist, etc.) rather than folder browsing. Not sure if that is your issue. And the browsing slowness shouldn't really be related to FLAC vs mp3 file type.

A Synology NAS 110j is 800 MHz CPU but only 128 MB so limited space for handling data. No personal experience with SBS on a NAS but I would say shutdown all not needed services on the NAS; and have a look in the Synology forum... well and here. You could hang on and wait for 7.6 around
