  for initial block download, can one choose to download all history or a fraction of it?
• 12:07
  moneromooo
  Yes, but experimental.

  » moneromooo goes look for the switch

  tromp_
  so default is to download all?
• 12:08
  moneromooo
  Yes.

  ooo i didn't know we had that. is it an 8x speedup in sync time?
• 12:10
  moneromooo
  No.
• 12:14
  asymptotically
  oh, because it's throw away 1/8th of prunable data, not 1/8th of all data?
• 12:14
  asymptotically
  will have to test it anyway :)
• 12:17
  moneromooo
  Well, I guess it'll be a 8x speedup if you're on dialup.
• 12:17
  moneromooo
  Well, more like 6 or 7. But the storage is usually more of a bottleneck than download speed.
