  Elliptic Curve Pairing Test - Tests EC pairing precompile (0x08) performance under stress conditions to identify pairing operation limits and client-specific performance differences.

  This is a stress test that demonstrates performance characteristics under high load. Testing shows that at 60% of gas target as input, Geth fails while Reth succeeds, but both clients exhibit unacceptable payload generation times (over 2 seconds).

  Use Case: Identify pairing operation limits and client-specific performance differences, validate precompile behavior under stress conditions, and benchmark cryptographic operations critical for advanced blockchain applications like zk-SNARKs.

  Gas Limit: 1,000,000,000 (high stress test configuration)
