Steem Node Operator? Let's compare sync times!

I'm on about 12 hours..... to get to the 5.4th million block.  

Is anyone else lower?  

Given that the majority of operators are in the cloud, how is this even possible?

Do you mind if I borrow your config?

Thank you.

Nothing special there, just make sure your `shared-file-dir` or even better, whole `data-dir` is on some fast device (latency is extremely important). In my case it was all in `/run` + I used `--flush=1000000` but I don't think later change much in my case.
