 My annual node performance tests are now live: https://blog.lopp.net/2023-bitcoin-node-performance-tests/ 
 Would be interesting to compare Knots 25.1 vs Core 25.1. 
 I've enjoyed reading these the past few years. Thanks. 
 Always enjoy this, thanks Lopp! 
 Awesome work.  I was not aware of GoCoin… it’s a proprietary license?  Do you know if it’s used internally by some company, or otherwise what is its purpose? 
 Very interesting, didn't know Gocoin was so we'll optimized.

Hopping next year we'll have Floresta on that list :) 
 I read the article and noticed you're still using a dbcache setting of 24000.  I'm pretty sure i've read a post bitcoin stackexchange that bitcoin core has s hardcoded limit around 16GB.  Which matches your results of seeing a max usage of 16.7GB of ram.   Maybe you can get that limit increased?  I haven't dug into the code to see if it's an easy change to make before building from source.  Or maybe there's a reason they put that limit on it.
