slow block processing

[daniel-lucio]

this started today, just a few hours ago
around block #2,468,763, it does process but very very slow. So far, I am 1000 blocks behind now. Any comment?

If you need I run with special options, I will, just tell me

If you have HDD you should be running with --db-compaction hdd, give it some time - it seems that it takes quite a long time to process that block.
It's probably one of the blocks that contains new attack transactions, we are working on an improvement for this.

Thanks, I will give a try
