On normal&#xA;systems initial sync-up now takes a couple hours.  It could be slower,&#xA;of course, if you have the bad luck to end up with unresponsive peers—&#xA;but that will also make the SPV nodes slow.&#xA;&#xA;Better to be conservative I agree, but calling it a dozen times longer&#xA;than I&#39;d expect is perhaps a bit much.&#xA;&#xA;Refine refine refine.</html></oembed>
