I can see Umbrel now has 3 different electrum servers. Which one do you recommend to run ?

Here is a pretty good overview [Server Performance - Sparrow Wallet](https://sparrowwallet.com/docs/server-performance.html)

Im currently switching to Fulcrum and the indexing is taking forever… Im hoping its has better performance than the Electrs

Just in case, I tried that, and never finished indexing, it seems something is not working as it should.

It took Fulcrum about 4 days to fully index my node, but now mempool.space works much better compared to Electrs. For example, when searching for a specific address.
