Solana folks claiming XDP will fix everything. Is it the REAL DEAL or nah? Let's find out.. 🧵

comparison of 2 nodes on testnet (9cD and ftv) with similar stake.. they're doing similar amounts of Turbine work

and now the big reveal... here's the difference in time it takes to retransmit the shreds through turbine... the non-XDP node (9cD) takes ~160ms to perform all the seconds during this 2 second interval. but where is the other node?? see that thin purple line hugging the x-axis?

we need to zoom in 1000x to see what's happening... the node with XDP is running over 200x faster... on the primary bottleneck...

there are currently over 40 nodes and ~10% of stake on testnet running XDP. getting critical mass adoption will allow us to flip on 100M CU block limits ☔️☔️

Update: closer to 20%
