The recommended config for a milestone sync benchmark on this machine is the default config. There are a lot of (1) config settings, (2) command line options, and (3) runtime console options. Config settings are in an "ini" file format, and established using the --config or -c command line switch as described above. The --help or -h command dumps command line options:
