Motivation
Whenever there is a long backlog of blocks without fetched internal transactions, it makes sense to fetch them in
block_number desc
order instead of random as-is order, as more recent blocks likely contain more relevant information for the end user.It may also lead to faster loading overall, as nearby blocks share most of the state Merkle Patricia tree, thus querying them sequentially from the same node may improve node's internal cache hit ratio.
