glad to hear this!
we finally have an improved sync for windows that while it isnt blazing fast, at least it doesnt waste a lot of bandwidth. the sync time wont be as good as other OS, but should be much improved.

recently we sped up the startup time by 4x, which hopefully will make it less likely for people to get impatient and killing the process, which if done improperly corrupts the DB at worst and at best requires a rescan.
