Set all 4 cores for initial blockchain catch-up in core

[Altoidnerd]

I understand for mining one can specify the number of cores (in this case to all) as

Code:

setgenerate true genproclimit -1

Can I instruct a freshly installed bitcoind to use all the cores to verify the signatures to speed up the initial set up of the core client?

It's a command-line/bitcoin.conf parameter called "par". See the builtin help.

you should also note that multisignature script verification is not enabled until you pass the last checkpoint block. disabling checkpoints (-checkpoints=0) allows multithreaded verification from the start.
