IsInitialBlockDownload() seems to return false if no block has been received more than 10 seconds ago. Why 10 seconds? On my node when it's catching up, this function constantly alternates between returning true and false, which I suspect is not what is supposed to happen.
IsInitialBlockDownload() doesn't work as intended? #1161

It returns true consistently before the highest preset checkpoint. This is the most important aspect of the behavior. After that it's just guesswork and it should be expected and okay to be inconsistent.

ah.. well, if that's the intended behaviour, it's working as designed.
