Times each phase of ProcessProposal and FinalizeBlock and reports the means every DRIVE_BLOCK_PERF_EVERY blocks (default 500). Off unless DRIVE_BLOCK_PERF=1, and accumulated in memory rather than logged per block, so the measurement does not pay for a log line inside the spans it measures. This is what located the two per-block costs that scale with chain history: an unbounded withdrawal-document query and GroveDB checkpoint creation during replay.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds an optional block-performance profiler. It records phase timings across proposal execution and block finalization, aggregates results at configured intervals, and logs block-level means. ChangesBlock performance instrumentation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to When profiling is enabled, timings from rejected proposals can be included in later block aggregates, which may mislead operators diagnosing block-performance regressions. The impact is limited to profiling accuracy, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to discard unsuccessful-block samples.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Do not merge failed-block samples in Drop.
A rejected proposal can return after recording laps. Dropping Laps then adds those samples to Totals. end_block runs only after a successful commit, so a later block reports timings from the rejected proposal. Keep samples block-scoped and merge them only after successful finalization, or discard them on rejection.

There was no way to see where a block's time goes inside drive-abci.
ProcessProposallogged oneelapsed_time_ms— truncated to whole milliseconds — andFinalizeBlocklogged nothing at all, so more than half the per-block cost was unattributed.That gap hid two costs that scale with chain history and together accounted for most of a mainnet sync:
Neither is visible without per-phase numbers. Both were found with this.
What was done?
A
Lapsvalue times successive phases of block execution and merges them into process-wide totals on drop.perf::end_blockreports the means everyDRIVE_BLOCK_PERF_EVERYblocks (default 500) as a single log line.Two design points worth noting:
DRIVE_BLOCK_PERF=1. The switch is aOnceLock<bool>read once; when off,Laps::newallocates nothing and everylapreturns immediately.The mean is over blocks rather than over samples, so a phase that only runs on some blocks shows its share of the per-block cost rather than its cost when it fires. Sample counts are reported alongside, which is how the fire rate of a phase becomes visible.
Phases covered: the block-proposal path (epoch info, block-cache clear, state clone, core info, chain lock, withdrawals, DAO events, state transitions, fees, root hash, validator set) and the finalize path (proposal validation, commit signature verification, drive cache, state cache, commit, checkpoint).
Example output:
How Has This Been Tested?
Used throughout a full mainnet replay, genesis to 424,981, and for every A/B measurement behind #4550, #4553, #4554 and #4556.
cargo test -p drive-abci --lib— 2,770 passed.Breaking Changes
None. Inert unless the environment variable is set.
