I don't run Bitcoin-qt continuously, so it takes a while to synchronize whenever I start it. The problem is that during this synchronization period, the UI is frequently completely unresponsive. Sometimes, I just want to look at the wallet and I don't care if it is synched or not, but I end up having to wait for a long time because it is so unresponsive.
Is there a configuration setting that will help? If not, then this seems like this is a problem that should be fixed. Should I post on github?
I am running 0.20.0 on Windows 10, i5-7600 @ 3.5 GHz, 4 cores, 16 GB
If the non-responsive delay corresponds to the amount of time since you last ran a sync, you're probably OK. Happens to me as well.
