mempool: explore how tendermint mempool behaves with large Tx #243

Description

@liamsi

One thing we haven't really thought about yet: LazyLedger (app) messages could potentially become quite large. I'm not sure if the tendermint mempool in its current form will able to cope with these.

We should investigate:

  • how well can the tendermint mempool deal with large Tx?
  • could Tx gossiping pose any security issue?
  • how should we cap the Tx size if it could cause a problem?
  • how large do we expect ORU blocks to be that will be posted onto LL? Quoting John:

Just as a ballpark, 1 MB messages should probably a good starting point upper bound I think

Maybe @ValarDragon @marbar3778 have any insights on this.
