I'm wondering how to improve wallet sync times from a bootstrap via command line (or .conf file) arguments.

Most wallet have the -dbcache= option where is size in MB of the database cache size. Default value varies depending on the coin. Increasing this value (something like 256 MB) will make your wallet sync faster when downloading the blocks from peers, but does it affects sync time when sycning from a bootstrap? (Question 1)

Another command is -dblogsize= where is the size in MB of the database disk log. What impact does increasing/decreasing this value have? (Question 2)

I am 99% sure that the command -maxreceivebuffer= will not affect syncing from a bootstrap, since you are loading blocks from your disk, not the network peers. True? (Question 3)

Lastly, some wallet do not have the -par= option listed on the available commands, so if it is not listed will it not function? (Question 4)

Thanks in advance everybody
