Description

How long is it even supposed to take to do the `lightmode` index? I'm running a server with 2.5TB datacenter-grade SSD RAID, 64GB RAM, Intel Core i7-8700. Had Bitcoind already synced. It took probably 12hrs to index and compact `txstore` DB, and now it's 5th hour of `history` indexing and it seems to go waaay slower (currently on 300 of 4.8k .blk files) Not sure I understand what's the bottleneck here and the timeframe for the sync? CPU usage is <15%, mem 10%. Please advise!
