Hey guys, a complete noob to linux here. I've managed to get bitcoind up and synced, and I'm trying to configure an electrum server using the standard method (not ElectrumX).

Problem is, its taking ages to sync up. I've tried changing the cache sizes to 12GB (I have 16GB ram) but it just goes even slower. Any ideas?

Running off an old i3 3250, 16GB ram and a 1TB hard drive.
