Generate tick entry ids and only register ticks as the last_id expected by the bank. Since the bank is MT, the in-flight pipeline of transactions cannot be close to the end of the queue or there is a high possibility that a starved thread will encode an expired last_id into the ledger. The banking_stage therefore uses a shorter age limit for encoded last_ids then the validators.
Bench client doesn't send transactions that are older then 30 seconds.
* Revert benchmarks back to libtest
Criterion has too many dependencies, it's execution as slower, and
we didn't see the kind of precision we had hoped for to use it to
block CI builds.
* Ignore benchmarks that take more than a few milliseconds per iteration
* Revert "Ignore benchmarks that take more than a few milliseconds per iteration"
This reverts commit b87cdf6ef4a2549ec09e282014391de695473699.
* Don't run benchmarks in CI
They are already built in the nightly build. Executing them in CI
doesn't add much value until the results are precise enough to act
on.
We'll avoid introducing three-letter terms to free up the namespace
for three-letter acronyms.
But recognize the term "sigverify", a verb, to verify a digital
signature.
Clippy told us to change function parameters to references, but
wasn't able to then tell us that the clone() before borrowing
was superfluous. This patch removes those by hand.
No expectation of a performance improvement here, since we were
just cloning reference counts. Just removes a bunch of noise.
