Experiment with methods of improving block finality time.
Is this (the block finality time) have something to do with the recent transaction errors with the Splinterlands game? Or one or more of the servers was/were overloaded?
Yesterday it wrote the following two times, when I tried to claim the season end rewards:
There was an error completing this transaction: Block processing is behind. Please try again later.
This error sounds like a Splinterlands problem (following the head block), not the hived software itself.
I thought the same at first. Probably one (or more) of its server(s) was/were overloaded.
