# Periodic Task Improvements
The `start_periodic_tasks` function has been updated to enhance the performance, reliability, and adaptability of the periodic tasks in our application. The changes include:
## Sleep Detection
- Both the maintenance task and the P2P event monitoring task now incorporate sleep detection.
- If the time elapsed since the last check exceeds 10 seconds, it indicates that the system has likely been in sleep mode.
- Upon detecting sleep, the function resets various states, clears caches, and rediscovers network nodes to ensure a fresh start.
## Adaptive Intervals and Batch Sizes
- The P2P event monitoring task now employs adaptive intervals and batch sizes based on the number of peers in the network.
- For larger networks (over 100,000 peers), the interval is increased to 200ms, and for networks with over 50,000 peers, it is set to 150ms. Otherwise, the default interval is 100ms.
- The batch size for processing P2P events starts at 100 and dynamically adjusts based on the processing time. It increases when processing is fast and decreases when errors occur, with a maximum of 500 and a minimum of 50.
## Exponential Backoff and Reinitialization
- In case of consecutive failures during P2P event handling, an exponential backoff strategy is implemented.
- The backoff duration doubles with each consecutive failure, capped at a maximum of 64 seconds (2^6).
- If the number of consecutive failures exceeds 3, the function attempts to reinitialize the P2P system.
- If the reinitialization fails, the interval is set to 5 seconds to allow for a longer recovery period.
## Memory Optimization
- For large networks (over 100,000 peers) and when events are processed, the function yields the task to prevent excessive memory usage and allow other tasks to run.
These enhancements aim to improve the overall performance, handle sleep scenarios gracefully, adapt to network conditions, and ensure the stability of the periodic tasks in our application.
