j-berman submits PR to decrease wallet sync times

j-berman1 has submitted a pull request which aims to reduce wallet scanning times for new Monero transactions by 30-40%:

Add view tags to outputs to reduce wallet scanning time #80612

In tests on my machine, I saw reductions in scanning time upwards of 40% (and a minimum around 30%).

The code aims to implement view tags as proposed by Koe3 in MRL issue #734, as previously reported5.

After conflicts are resolved and the PR is merged, j-berman should also be able to collect the associated bounty6.

Update: add reference link to j-berman’s comment7; PR #8061 is now close to being merged.
