sync command takes extremely long time

[bobloadmire]

My ACD has bout 200gb of data (photos) I ran sync for the first time to day. It made it to "inserting nodes" and has been stuck on progress dots for 8 hours now. Minimal network activity, but acd_cli process is using 20% cpu, It hasn't appeared to crash, but I was under the impression this isn't an expected behavior. I'll let you guys know if it finishes.

Ok, it's been a few days, acd_cli is still syncing, still inserting nodes. Still adding dots to the progress and there is still cpu and network activity. Anyone have a clue?

This may be due to the very slow database updates when you have lots of files - #363
If you cancel the sync, it'll continue from approximately where it left off. Then you can add the index to the database (as described in that issue) and try the sync again. It should progress a bit faster.

Please see if the pull request #436 improves the insertion speed.
