Thanks Dennis and Daniel!

those are really good points Daniel!

I noticed sync and re-sync behaves almost the same for a period of time:
[image: sync_and_resync.jpg]

so I was guessing the problem would be when starting to save the contents.
Combining Daniel and Dennis hints, probably the problem is a very long
query with many Erratas!
