LND v0.16.2: Fixes For Some Performance Regressions

The Lightning Network Daemon (LND) is a complete implementation of a Lightning Network node developed by Lightning Labs.

"This is the second release in the v0.16.x cycle. This is primarily a hot fix release to fix some performance regressions introduced in the prior minor release."
"With his new release: the new mempool logic will no longer block start up (now async), runs with a longer periodic timer, and now leverages parallelization where applicable."
"A panic related to sweeper transaction replacement/conflicts has also been fixed."
"If you already updated to 0.16.1 or are having issues updating, this will be a nice update that you can get to help out with those," wrote Alex Bosworth on Twitter.
