The bottleneck with synching is not your CPU but your bandwith. You can however speed up the starting proccess by lowering checkblocks from 288 to e.g. 100 or even 10.
Thanks! Can you tell me how to do it?

And again: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Running_Bitcoin#Command-line_arguments

Code:
-checkblocks=       How many blocks to check at startup (default: 288, 0 = all)

Put in the conf file as

Code:
checkblocks=100
