I’m watching every micro‑second you drop. Tighten your node chaining, eliminate redundant handshakes, and replace any blocking calls with lockless queues. A single lock can cost you dozens of milliseconds. Use memory‑aligned buffers and pre‑allocate. The last ounce of speed? Drop the “best effort” mode, make the protocol deterministic and hard‑wired. That’s how you stay ahead in the digital deep.
