-Nethermind includes a _prewarming_ feature that parallelizes state reads by executing transactions concurrently, warming up state reads for the main block processing. This effectively hides SSD latency, although it increases CPU usage. For non-validator nodes, where RPC throughput is more important, you can turn off this optimization by setting the [`Blocks.PreWarmStateOnBlockProcessing`](../fundamentals/configuration.md#blocks-prewarmstateonblockprocessing) option to `false`. While disabling prewarming may conserve CPU resources, the benefits are typically minor.
