Haven't sync'ed my wallet for a 1month, seems it takes forever to get sync'ed... performance is an issue!

Yes, but you don't have to run a full node and can switch to a light wallet which syncs in a few seconds.

You dont' need a full wallet for an average use. Switch to a light wallet.

How to switch to a light wallet? Is it a different wallet or is it done in the full one?
What is considered a light wallet?
One that doesn't download the entire blockchain of the .dat file?
I didn't think byteball had a blockchain, just the DAG and witnesses??? I will admit I haven't fully dug into all the terminology though.

I installed the light wallet because I heard the regular wallet took forever to sync... not sure what you are syncing if there are no blocks though....
Yeah that is some strange terminology to the ones who did not follow it from it's very start.
I have been just into to many coins right now and doing sia's wallet right now and it's been trying to sync for the last 2 hours now. 100GB from what I last read up on it's .dat file.
So the light wallet for byteball shouldn't be that big, since it started late last year and not over 2 years of data needed for this wallet to sync with on their type of blockchain.

The light wallet does not download the database (not 100GB but around 5GB at the moment). It synchs in a minute and relies on a "home hub" for the database. You can choose the home hub of your choice see https://byteball.fr
