Followup to #373 and #378, where @rubensayshi and I are discussing whether or not we should re-order signatures (and potentially verify more than is necessary) or opt for the fastest solution.
The case can be seen clearly in the following example by @rubensayshi:
If you have the following set of pubkeys and signatures:
That is, all but
pubKey2has signed, and therefore their signature is missing.If we allow re-ordering, the evaluation will be:
pubKey1will matchsig1and break,pubKey2will try to matchsig3andsig4and failpubKey3will matchsig3and breakpubKey4will matchsig4and we're doneIf we don't:
pubKey1will matchsig1and break,pubKey2will try to matchsig3, and failpubKey3will matchsig3and breakpubKey4will matchsig4and we're doneThis is only 1 less verification, but it could be substantial if there was more
pubKeys and less signatures.Any other feedback from any other onlookers is welcome :)
