You are using the default SALT_HASH_LOG of 12, right? You load a
thousand times more salts than that number is really good for. Please
try bumping it to 22 for the case of 2 million hashes. This will speed
up things significantly, not just pot sync.
In fact we might want to bump that default a bit (at least in Jumbo). I
think we can't make it variable, that would hurt performance.
