The M4 MacBook Pro is not the fastest machine I have, but it's the only one that can sync the blockchain in a few* hours hours without loud fans.

Syncing from the assume utxo snapshot at height 840,000 to the tip took only half an hour. Looking forward to that process becoming more user friendly over time, because it really improves the onboarding experience of a full node. It took me longer to download the torrent from my own slow seed :-)

* = 6.5 hours while doing other stuff, with very large -dbcache

What would it take to make core node as fast as the upcoming libbitcoin v4 node?

Just skip verifying whatever libbitcoin skips :-)

(no there's plenty of room to make it faster)

I haven't looked deeper yet. Does libbitcoin really skips checks?

Merging both https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30039 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31132 for Bitcoin Core v29 would get us there.
