We create and then toss a large number of blocks at startup time. We do this because we randomly sample the state space with no rejections. Because of the way blocks are constructed it stands to reason that there are ranges of invalid samples and this structure is used to avoid those invalid ranges. Hyperfine results are now min 1.687, max 1.707 with the stdev reduced to 0.006 from 0.018. The block reject rate is now lower, which will improve our large entropy generation non-trivially.

Turns out, I've misread the situation. Most payloads do not suffer from high rejected block counts which strongly implies that either the otel metrics payload is buggy or is lacking sufficient information. |
