I just set up counterpartyd but it's talking for ever to sync. It uses something like 10+ sec on each block. Is there any way to speed this up?
I have bitcoin datadir on macbook ssd drive, everything in ssd drive that helps
Its being optimized, but an ssd is your best bet
Does this really have that much of an impact? I was guessing cpu was the probme?

It's JSON RPC calls I think, it's a known issue and the devs are working on making it better.
It takes a day or so currently.
My estimate is 3,9days left 
But ok thanks for the info 
If you want to help bitcoind be faster when its syncing you can add -dbcache=128 or 256 so the client will allocate more ram and reduce io with the hdd. If it's really the rpc calls it won't help but bitcoin does a lot of disk io as well.
Does not seem to have helped. Last measurement was 10s now its 13

I had a look at it
See there was a bootstrap file, any chance of getting that back up?
