Baby Fleming Update
Thanks to everyone for their Baby Fleming testing feedback.
The main area of feedback so far is performance when uploading data, and rightly so - we suspected that this may occur and the testing by the community has shown that to be the case. This performance issue is primarily due to us sending the client requests through Parsec, our consensus algorithm, for strong consistency.
Next steps
We have plenty of feedback & logs about data upload performance now and are working in the background on several different potential solutions for that. In the meantime, we believe it would be more beneficial to remove Parsec from vaults right now, keeping it in routing, so as to allow people to see past the current performance lag and test other parts of the testnet, create sites and apps, etc. We have a safe_vault pull request going through internal testing here. We will of course let you know as soon as we release a new version with this change.
