datastream only in singapore means the rest of the world is forever slow

Hi, maybe someone from xlayer team reads this: having only a single datastream in APSG region is useless for connectivity from the rest of the world for anything other than baseline web3 dapp use cases. Even if you run your own node, the datastream files entry protocol is ridiculously bad, it needs to do 3-4 roundtrips per data entry before it advances, at 150ms thats a second per entry easily, which means that any node outside of SG will sync in "chunks of 5-10 blocks". You can see it with ankr, with omnia, drpc, etc.

Ideally the okx team using the private API can setup a dedicated sequencer-replayer in two more regions so that the penalty is only the block propagation time ~200ms and not 1-second-per-block-fetch.

"chunks of 5-10 blocks"

yes!!! i noticed that

so , node in SG will way fast than rest of the world ?

Yes, we have already tested it, and it's faster in the SG region compared to other regions.

We are working on that, will circle back if there's any result. Thanks for feedback.

its faster in SG yes, to sync -- but then you get the latency on RPC to the node of course, which once again defeats the purpose for anything that requires speed. I dont mind for my RPC to be 200ms behind the sequencer, I just dont want it to update in 5-10 block chunks, I want it sequential.
