It is likely that the default settings will be suboptimal for your machine, even resulting in thrashing. If you post your basic specs I can make suggestions. One of the aspects we are working on is automatically tuning what is presently manual configuration for given platform.
Also note that if your CPU supports sha native (shani), which is about 5x faster individual hashing, it will distort realistic benchmarking, since shani is not yet integrated into the hashing library.

I gave you info on how to determine block count (the sync is not ordered). The node emits events to
(edited)events.log. I believe current build emits only the block_archived event (with block height and time in seconds from startup). This will show the individual blocks archived since the node started up. You can also type i <enter> while the node is running and it will dump store stats to the console. Finally, you can type p <enter> and see individual blocks being archived at the console. This is a toggle, type again to disable.✅ 1
