  since 0.18 and the corresponding block update, monero has been syncing at ~100 blocks per second on a spinning drive. That's crazy fast but should I be concerned it's not verifying correctly?

  because that's only time for like 1-2 disk seeks per block

  ok now it slowed down. maybe there were just a lot of blocks with no transactions while people upgraded their software

  You can use print_bc, it'll print the number of txes in the input range.

  immibis_: we added new checkpoints int the last release

  so all blocks until 2-3 weeks ago should sync faster

  could be it

  ... does that mean most of the time spent syncing is just verifying PoW then?

  verifying pow gets skipped on blocks with known hashes

  memory requirement seems to be down as well
• 11:18
  selsta
  but not sure if that's what you are seeing

  new checkpoints each release definitely has that impact
