We recently covered how v0.2.2.0 dramatically improves P2P sync speed. Those same optimizations carry over to QuickSync and the results are just as impressive.
QuickSync improvement by block range
| Block range | Improvement |
|---|---|
| 0 – 500k | ~46% faster |
| 500k – 1M | ~43% faster |
| 1M – 2M | ~47% faster |
| 2M – 2.5M | ~67% faster |
| 2.5M – 4M | ~62% faster |
| Overall | ~52% faster (2.1x) |
Testing was performed on an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X running Windows 11. Both versions were synced from block 0 using a fresh QuickSync file with no other load on the machine. v0.2.0.0 completed in 1h 37m, v0.2.2.0-RC2 in 46m.
The gains are consistent across the entire chain, with the biggest improvements in the second half where recent blocks are processed. Whether you’re syncing fresh via QuickSync or catching up over P2P, v0.2.2.0 is the fastest Nerva release yet.
Official v0.2.2.0 release coming out soon:
