In my testing, I saw
OrbitDB load 10-40 entries per second (with 1 byte entry data payload sizes). Each entry tries to point to up to 64 previous entries, which allows a lot parallelism in loading previous entries.
Data size is also an issue which isn’t helped by parallelism.
And your database only ever grows, both in size and in number of entries.
