Yes, this is expected. The upgrade from v1 to v2 swaps out the underlying consensus code from the one previously used in We don't provide an official bootstrap database. You might also not see a huge improvement from using an existing database since the bottleneck is usually your disk rather than the bandwidth of your peers. If you are not already doing so, keeping the metadata directory on a fast SSD and only the volumes on HDDs should reduce sync times greatly and improve overall performance. |
