This is the lowest end specification run I've ever attempted. 8 dual cores (16 logical) @ base clock 2.1GHz 8 GiB 2400Mhz RAM 2TB 560/530 MBps SATA SSD 7 year old Dell board 2.3Gbps peak measured WAN bandwidth. It completed a full chain sync to block 840,000 in 2:15.

I just cranked up the thread count from 16 to 32, after trying several different levels. I was running 16, which was optimal for my 1Gbps network. But 32 is optimal now, and it's running maybe 10% faster. 45-50 minutes?
