| libbitcoin is designed to use the maximum available RAM and, whenever necessary, writes this data to the disk using mmap. The question of whether this is necessary is determined by the operating system (Dirty Paging). During development we noticed that Windows' paging is significantly more performant (because it's dynamic) than either OSX or Linux. To achieve similar performance under Linux as under Windows, the Linux kernel parameters must be adapted to the underlying hardware/the requirements of the node. | ||

| The libbitcoin toolkit is a set of cross platform C++ libraries for building Bitcoin applications. The toolkit consists of several libraries, most of which depend on the foundational [libbitcoin-system](https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-system) library. Each library's repository can be cloned and built separately. There are no packages yet in distribution, however each library includes an installation script (described below) which is regularly verified via [github actions](https://github.com/features/actions). |

maybe makes more sense to link to the actual CI?
