How long should it take to sync a new node? I've been running for several days and it's now slowed down to only obtaining about 2 weeks of blockchain data per day. I'm 2 years and 14 weeks behind. I have 16 active connections to the clams network.

It takes a very long time. Weeks or months, apparently due to some long-unfixed bugs in the code.

If you don't want to wait you can download a copy of the blockchain.

I've synced twice. It does work, but requires patience.

I've got the bootstrap section which I needed, and I'm tailing the debug log, looks like it'll still take 27 hours. Does that seem right? I know bitcoin takes ages; but this blockchain isn't even 1% of the size of bitcoins...

See bold above.

Yes, it is much, much slower than Bitcoin.
