 in.
 
+The fuzzing can be sped up significantly (~200x) by using `afl-clang-fast` and
+`afl-clang-fast++` in place of `afl-gcc` and `afl-g++` when compiling. When
+compiling using `afl-clang-fast`/`afl-clang-fast++` the resulting
+`test_bitcoin_fuzzy` binary will be instrumented in such a way that the AFL
+features "persistent mode" and "deferred forkserver" can be used. See
+https://github.com/mcarpenter/afl/tree/master/llvm_mode for details.

 You may have to change a few kernel parameters to test optimally - `afl-fuzz`
 will print an error and suggestion if so.
