The I/O in pink was verbose retry logging. I've been looking into this and other causes of low address quality. Given I don't have an IPv6 default gateway, all IPv6 addresses fail immediately. I've added config to disable IPv6 so these get filtered out, and maybe that can be automated at some point, that's about 20% of the address pool. I've also determined that about 26% of all addresses don't advertise node service (which we filter out), and another 3% include "invalid" (shitcoin) service identifiers. That's 49,000 addresses out of 100,000 taking up address pool space, so I'm going to prefilter those out as the addresses are received and before a random portion is selected for retention. This will reduce connect time a good amount.
