Lower blocktimes in accordance with Sync Speeds

Awesome! If validators are having trouble with connectivity we definitely should not be lowering times further.

While two weeks late, I think we should drop to 2.5s.

The state of where I think we are right now is that:

  • Overall RPC serving infrastructure in Osmosis has not reported any issues.
  • Some blocks are occasionally going to round 2
  • Some validators still have configs at 5s timeouts
  • Some nodes occasionally hang when syncing, this is fixed on restart. (Still being debugged)
  • Overall validator signing rate is back to pre-v24 levels
  • Most block syncs are achieving 7 blocks per second
  • Blocksync during congested periods achieves 3.5 blocks per second. (Still within sync speed bounds for up to block times of 1.5s, but ideally would be much faster)

Is it known why certain validators are still running on 5-secs blocktimes? Just like validators with the min-gas-fee on a setting which is not the right one, I think it is important to know the reasoning behind this as well.

In the end we need a validator set which is behaving likewise, and not some dissidents which just do their own thing.
