Performance

There are two main constrains that we aim for: battery/compute and network bandwidth.

network
Inbox/Outbox (gossip) is our main pillar to help avoid unnecessary nostr requests. We try to leverage the cache as much as possible.
Even splitting the users filters into smaller relay tailored filters if we know the relay has the information we need.

compute
Right now the most compute intensive operation is verifying signatures.
We use the cache to determine if we have already seen the event and only if it is unknown signature verification is done.
To make the operation as optimized as possible we strongly recommend using NdkEventVerifier from the ndk_flutter package. It automatically selects the fastest verifier for the current platform (WebEventVerifier on web, RustEventVerifier on native).

For pure Dart applications (without Flutter), use RustEventVerifier() directly on native platforms.
