When you unlock your wallet syncing i s very fast . If it isn't encrypted then encrypt it and unlock it. I use the wallet this way. From zero to "up to date" - 1 days max without touching anything
shulio is correct- thanks for that. I unlocked my wallet and went from 6% to 39% synch in < 1 minute. Ha-ha- another minute and I 'mined' 14+ Cinni. #winning. Ha-ha, just my 2 cents. Can't believe I have had these since May! Oh, lookie- another 14.133 mined.
