We have observed a slowdown in block production when the sequencer is put under load with a barrage of large (~200kB) transactions.
Current suspicions are around the check_tx calls, which show up as taking over 5 seconds in some cases according to CometBFT metrics.
We should investigate further and provide fixes for the issues.
