| Dec 1, 2017 at 12:19 | comment | added | Andi Giga | Does a higher cache influence the speed of syncing new blocks once the blockchain has synced? I' building s.th. which is relying on getting contract Events as fast as possible. | |

It could be as simple as "Run Geth 1.4.6 with these switches..." Would be good to include any comments that are useful, since I'll try to clean up some of these comments. Thanks | |
| Jun 6, 2016 at 14:26 | comment | added | Péter Szilágyi | The default cache is 128MB on the 1.4 branch :) But yet, perhaps waiting for 1.4.6 is best, given that I'm pushing it out any minute now ;) | |

| May 29, 2016 at 7:46 | comment | added | eth♦ | If you stop geth --fast, you can run geth --cache=1024 without needing to delete anything. | |
| May 29, 2016 at 7:29 | comment | added | dhuyvetter | Can I change the cache size when a part of the blockchain has already been downloaded with geth --fast? Or do I need to delete the chaindata folder first? I'll have a better internet connection later today and I'll try it out then. | |
