inconsistent performance

[shunjizhan]

when sending the same transaction to chopsticks with the same config, the block building time varies a lot - sometimes it's as fast as 4s, but sometimes it takes as long as a couple minutes.

Could this be network issue? I didn't change network either among different runs.

I am using local build at this commit, and start with yarn start -c configs/acala.yml with Apple chip. Tx is simple erc20 transfer or sending native ACA

this is the full config, I also tried removing db.* before restarting chopsticks, same result.

endpoint:
  - wss://crosschain-dev.polkawallet.io:9915
mock-signature-host: true
# block: ${env.ACALA_BLOCK_NUMBER}
db: ./db.sqlite
runtime-log-level: 5
# wasm-override: acala_runtime.wasm

in the same run, sending erc20 can also vary a lot

[ermalkaleci]

it's not performance issue. Chopsticks can build the block within a second if it has the storage. It's probably your tx reads a lot of storage or you're connected to an endpoint with low rate limit burst

[ermalkaleci]

@shunjizhan wss://crosschain-dev.polkawallet.io:9915 is so slow it takes forever to connect to
