We've just pushed down the time spent on epoch activation again, this time from ~519ms to ~337ms. That was the biggest bottleneck there and the main reason behind empty slots. There are still more optimizations being cooked there, so stay tuned. https://t.co/WYwL1Vbhha

Huge shoutout to all the folks at @anza_xyz who worked on the #solana/#agave 3.x crates! I just upgraded #Jetstreamer to use 3.x and was able to set a new record streaming transactions from old faithful to geyser at 2 MILLION TPS, processing all of epoch 800 in 7m 14s!!!
