From b2af357f39c7d17ab6ddb2938531155bf90126ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pieter Wuille Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2017 11:29:44 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Reduce reserved memory space for flushing As the maximum amount of data that can be pulled into the cache due to a block validation is much lower now (at most one CCoin entry per input and per output), reduce the conservative estimate used to determine flushing time. --- src/txdb.h | 4 +--- src/validation.cpp | 5 ++--- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/txdb.h b/src/txdb.h index 73011fe0f9..189094737e 100644 --- a/src/txdb.h +++ b/src/txdb.h @@ -22,9 +22,7 @@ class uint256; //!
