Stats on compact block reconstructions

The recent analysis of debug logs has indicated that reconstruction rates are neither ideal nor disastrous, indicating a moderate level of performance in processing transactions, which average tens of kilobytes. Two hosts, named luke and nico, have been highlighted for their current states; luke is experiencing high CPU usage due to enabled sanitizers, while nico operates on Knots. The choice of naming for these hosts presents an amusing inconsistency noted by the programmer.

An important aspect of this setup is the workflow used to generate these statistics, which involves multiple scripts that may not be suitable for everyone's use. The programmer explicitly discourages direct replication of this method, suggesting instead that individuals develop their own tailored approaches. For those interested in exploring the existing method, despite its potential overhaul in the future, a detailed explainer has been made available here. This resource could serve as a reference point for programmers looking to understand or modify the discussed workflow.
