Update on the Great Consensus Cleanup Revival

The email discusses technical specifics related to the performance and optimization of validation processes in the context of Bitcoin development. It highlights that when employing all 16-1 threads, the validation cost associated with mitigation is directly proportional to the number of preparation blocks used. Specifically, for a single block preparation, the expected runtime for validation is approximately 112 milliseconds. In comparison, the worst-case scenario using Taproot technology incurs about the same validation cost as the worst case with legacy systems, given the proposed mitigation strategy and assuming around 6 or 7 preparation blocks are utilized. However, it's noted that Taproot does not require any preparation block, and unlike other operations, its operations cannot be parallelized. This information is crucial for developers working on optimizing Bitcoin transaction validations, providing insights into the computational demands and efficiency of different approaches within the blockchain technology framework.
