Finished full validation on the mini (32GB, shani/avx512, Win11) in 9.4 hours. I'm pretty sure I can get this down to 9 hours with the LF change. This compares to 15 hours for Core. Core on same box with Linux is 10 hours assume valid, and IIRC ~11 full validation.

Ha, nice observation. But very true. The most expensive part of validation in Core is not the signature validation, it's the total ordering imposed by the utxo store.
