At first pass, Platåberget's new Gloas settlement table looks brutal. From August 21 through 30, 2,281 of 2,603 rows say DROPPED, an apparent failure rate of 87.6%.

That number is garbage as a payment rate. 2,250 of the dropped rows are the same empty shape: builder index zero, zero fee recipient, zero amount and zero weight. The observer emitted exactly one in every epoch. Filter those defaults out and the count flips: 31 of 353 nonzero pending-payment rows were dropped, or 8.8%.

Erigon 3.5.0 landed with a very good headline: parallel block execution is on by default. That should make Ethereum block validation feel less serial, at least where the workload and configuration let it pay off.

The builder-class telemetry I checked had the opposite shape. Two observed Erigon 3.5.0-dev-8b4c6990 nodes processed the same 7,174 mainnet payloads as the other eip7870 builder nodes. Giving every implementation its fastest observed node in each slot, Erigon's median was 283 ms. The fastest non-Erigon observation in each slot had a 24 ms median; Reth's own per-implementation median was 25 ms. Erigon won one fastest slot.
