How it works
A Zebra node follows Mainnet and hands each new block to the three nodes with submitblock. The three nodes have no peers and empty mempools, so the time is mostly checking and storing the block. They share one machine with other work. Zakura keeps a pruned chain; both Zebra nodes keep the full chain.
