This document attempts to capture and discuss some of the areas of Tendermint that seem to be cited as causing performance issue. I'm hoping to continue to gather feedback and input on this document to better understand what issues Tendermint performance may cause for our users.
The overall goal of this document is to allow the maintainers and community to get a better sense of these issues and to be more capably able to discuss them and weight trade-offs about any proposed performance-focused changes. This document does not aim to propose any performance improvements. It does suggest useful places for benchmarks and places where additional metrics would be useful for diagnosing and further understanding Tendermint performance.
Please comment with areas where my reasoning seems off or with additional areas that Tendermint performance may be causing user pain.
Issues reported in Osmosis, where the message is extremely long. Also, there is absolutely no reason to log the message IMO. If we must, we can make the message log DEBUG.
This change aims to keep versions of mockery consistent across developer laptops.
This change adds mockery to the `tools.go` file so that its version can be managed consistently in the `go.mod` file.
Additionally, this change temporarily disables adding mockery's version number to generated files. There is an outstanding issue against the mockery project related to the version string behavior when running from `go get`. I have created a pull request to fix this issue in the mockery project.

closes#2498
solves part of #3365
Note: difficult to test the event emit in SwitchToFastSync part, might need to change `stateSyncReactor` to an interface in the `nodeImpl` struct
## Description
Change block_size gauge to a histogram to observe block size overtime
This will help will see which chains have full blocks vs empty.
