is there anyway to speedup the IBD and sync of btcd?

[souvikhaldar]

I have very powerful system but btcd uses very low ram and cpu!

There are a few prs in progress to address IBD e.g.:
#1955
#1978

And some additional work planned to parallelize block downloads from multiple peers to speed up the sync. You should be able to observe significant improvements after these prs are merged
