I'm uploading my first file to the SiaNet ( I guess that's what you could call it).  The file is .7z file 725MB in size.  So far I am at roughly 10 minutes and it is about 12% finished.

Is there any specific CPU type that can handle the erasure encoding better?  I don't see Sia using anymore than 10-20% of my CPU and the drive IO doesn't appear to be maxed out.  Mainly I'm just curious about what could be taking it so long.

I'm not complaining, just making some observations.  I'm sure upload rates will improve as we move forward.  Or maybe its just my old Pentium E5800 (Kubuntu 14.04)
