Overview

Latency

Latency breakdown for builder-boost

We recorded the latency builder-boost introduces across a variety of situations. There are 3 keys attributes that impact latency:

Wire Latency (~10-20ms)
Core Processing Latency (~10ms)
Optional- Inclusion List (~5-10ms)

Our initial test results for e2e latency for a standard builder-boost instance with transaction inclusion list inactive are as follows:

Latency Bucket	Blocks Per Bucket	Percentile
<20ms	18300	66%
<30ms	25473	93%
<50ms	27035	99%
<100ms	27325	99.8%
Total Recorded Blocks: 27368

With the transaction inclusion list added, we see a slight increase in latency as follows. Note transaction inclusion list is an optional and experimental feature.

Latency Bucket	Blocks Per Bucket	Percentile
<20ms	231	17%
<30ms	758	58%
<50ms	1251	96%
<100ms	1289	99%
Total Recorded Blocks: 1300

Note: all tests were conducted with users in the same region as providers. As geographically distributed providers join the network, we suggest users deploy a geodistributed set of consumers to minimize wire latency impact.
