dashd super slow over network #665

Hello,

Im running Dashd for several reasons on a remote endpoint (NAS, 1gbit latency < 0.1ms).
Syncing the whole blockchain over SMB takes me almost 24 hours, even a resync take almost that long! And surely i doubled checked that the NAS/Network is not the bottleneck (it even has SSDs in it). Network / CPU / IO load is far less then 5%
If i run it on my local system it takes far less for that.

For example if i check the network usage for dashd while its reindexing, its speed is at ~20kb/sek.
I didnt checked the code, but maybe theres some 'low' buffers for read/write requests, maybe theres some way to optimize it easly with adjusting this buffers?

Did you check the RAM usage? Maybe your NAS is swapping all the time.

What is your NAS filesystem? I'm presuming NTFS given SMB use. ntfs-3g is notoriously slow, especially with operations of the nature of blockchain database read/writes. This is likely your bottleneck.
