Will also perform a confirmation run just to see where we are. IIRC it was like 30 minutes or so on the maxi box and very excessive when I trimmed back to 32GB/10 cores. So it will be nice to test that out on the mini, which I think will perform well since it's all query. The mini is outperforming the maxi when it's not CPU bound, which confirmability is not. So with confirmability my guess is that we'll be at around 5 hours for full validation with download on the maxi. On the mini the CPU is about 38% of the maxi (16 x 3.2 vs. 64 x 2.1), and download is additive, so a full dl/validate/confirm run should take 1 + (5/.38) + .5 = 14.7 hrs. Of course there's still SHANI to add, which will reduce that. Core takes 15 hours to sync on the mini, without script validation.
