"Remember that the total size of the blockchain has grown by 17% since my last round of tests, thus we would expect that an implementation with no new performance improvements or bottlenecks should take ~17% longer to sync.
BTCD 0.23.3: -1 day, 11 hours, 48 minutes (35% shorter)
Gocoin 1.10.3: -51 minutes (11.5% shorter)
Mako 3d8a5180: -26 minutes (2% shorter)
Bitcoin Core 24.0: +17 minutes (4% longer)
Bcoin 2.2.0: +4 hours, 21 minutes (17% longer)
Libbitcoin Server 3.6.0: +9 hours, 46 min (22% longer)
As we can see, each of the 4 implementations that have made code changes in the past year have improved their syncing performance since last year's tests and thus took less than the expected 17% longer to sync. Kudos to BTCD for being "most improved" and shout-out to Gocoin for effectively reaching performance parity with Bitcoin Core!"
