In other news, shelly hit 71 mins full validation to 950k on its native secp256k1 and cuda integration. The previous record is 63 mins from late July. The latest code has a small additional cost for header DoS protection, some changes to mmap, slightly different hashmap load factor configuration, and an outs table increased by 15GB (for address indexing, even when the index/head is off). Our validation is actually faster, the difference is resulting from the 15GB of extra writes. So I'll optimize out that column when it's not being used. I set address index off for this run to get the fair comparison against the record run, which pre-dates the address index optimization into the outs table.
