Hi.

I've removed by blockchain information and started redownloading it, on a fast connection, using the latest git version (tagged v0.7.1rc1), on a SSD disk.

Everything goes very fast, except that a lot of duplicate blocks are processed. New blocks arrive quickly, then a lot of duplicates seem to be processed at a much quieter pace, while the chain height does not increase anymore.

Is that expected? Isn't there a way to limit unneeded blocks downloads?
