Thanks for the fee info. I understand now.

However, I'm still having problems with syncing. Is there a "light" wallet that uses "wallet.dat"?

Not that I'm aware of. However you can install the electrum light wallet, then use the instructions in the quote to export your private keys from your Bitcoin Core client and import them into electrum.

Click file, then receiving addresses. Find the address you sent coins to in the window that opens, right click it, and select copy address. Close the addresses window.

Click help, then debug window.

In the debug window that opens click console.

In the text box at the bottom of the window type

dumpprivkey yourAddress

where yourAddress is the address you sent coins to and copied earlier.

Press your enter key.

The private key for that address should appear in the console window. Copy it.

This is an example private key.
