So utxo bloat isn’t a big deal? My understanding was that the Utxo set that gets freed from ram is cached by OS and loads essentially instantly when enough unused ram is available for cache, but if you run out of ram and have to free cache that loading from disk takes much longer…I could be wrong.
When I run top on my node, available ram drops over time until there’s less than 1 GB of 15 GB free…but the OS could be caching other stuff too.
