Thank you for the hard work and feedback.
We’re currently working on a major optimization to the get_block_api plugin that should likely provide a big boost in performance for the get_block API call
Will these performance improvements also apply to get_ops_in_block?
There's already been some recent improvements in get_ops_in_block, especially when an API node is under load conditions, due to the earlier mutex lock fixes we made, but this particular improvement is just focused on the get_block call, because the get_block_api had its own mutex (one that was unnecessary, because all writing is done from a single thread, and the read calls only read older blocks).
