# Validator NOM Performance

This is for LST's in general, and not specific to any one LST or Node Operator.

e. The only exceptions are peers with
1 and 2 vCPUs that are CPU-bottlenecked, having more
than 90% CPU utilization

Processing transactions within a channel
- To achieve higher throughput and lower latency, it is better to allocate at least one vCPU per channel. For
optimal vCPU allocation, we need to determine the expected
load at each channel and allocate adequate vCPUs accordingly.
- To achieve higher throughput and lower
latency, it is better to avoid heterogeneous peers as the
performance would be dictated by less powerful peers.

### MEV Relay Bids from relays for specific slot. Of these which bids came before slot time

#### Max Bid Over Time
| Relay | Blocks | Avg. <br> Transactions <br> Included | Builders <br> Connected | Median Execution <br> Rewards (ETH) |
