Slow Initial Sync - Every time I open the client (0.15.1 - 64 Bit) it is slow to sync and the network shows 50% of the time it does nothing. Also I suspect my 16-26 peers are not sending data, and suggest peer limit variable so it can be increased at will.

Possibly related to #11560

Fast Initial Sync - constant data transfer (download) and enough peers so that there is always peers sending data

Download core client from GH and install it, open it.

AMD Phenom X1100T BLACK 6 core processor, 16 GB ram, 1 x 2TB HDD, 1 x 2TB HSSD (Hybrid SSD)

• LONG breaks in network transfer
• Too few peers (IMO, which is why need peer variable)
• Network window looses data every time the time slider is changed... It should adjust and show the current data in the new time frame. And make it track with the debug window closed.
• Port is forwarded (and seen from outside - connections in and out)
• nice -n -20 bitcoin-qt does not help
• 6000 DBCache not help
• Added bunch of nodes/seednodes/connects
• Still have to make sure the userdir is on the HSSD (I confuse the drive manufacturers sometimes)

Config:
server=1
daemon=1

Debug.log - unable to fit under maximum for every pastebin website in sight :-/

Thanks for your help :)
