Comparing go-waku vs nwaku performance under different traffic load (2)

Coming from https://github.com/waku-org/research/issues/4 that identified some issues in gowaku that are now fixed:

Running the same simulations again with the fixes in place. The highlight are:

Here are the results of comparing nwaku vs gowaku performance under different traffic load in a network with the following characteristics:

Simulation ran using waku-simulator using this branch
50 nwaku nodes with statusteam/nim-waku:v0.18.0-rc.0
50 gowaku nodes with bc6a305759f2f09ffd1426697730562ffdd4a3dd
Just relay protocol is enabled and discv5 is enabled
Connected peers per node and rx messages/size are shown to ensure the experiment is valid.
Different traffic loads:
- scenario0 no traffic, just discv5 traffic.
- scenario1 rate: 10msg/second, size_per_msg: 1kB = 10kB/s
- scenario2 rate: 10msg/second, size_per_msg: 5kB = 50kB/s
- scenario3 rate: 30msg/second, size_per_msg: 3kB = 90kB/s
- scenario4 rate: 30msg/second, size_per_msg: 6kB = 180kB/s
- scenario5 rate: 100msg/second, size_per_msg: 3kB = 300kB/s
- scenario6 rate: 10msg/second, size_per_msg: 50kB = 500kB/s
