Does it look like pot sync is slower than processing "our own" cracks? 
It shouldn't, it uses all the same gears in the box. Of course, with 
-fork=8 it will spend 8x more time processing cracks, but in real-life 
it's not a problem. This is a contrived test.

I'll verify that we don't have some regression in there, I did spend a 
lot of time optimizing it.
