Bitcoin Cash mempool has been full for almost an hour. https://txstreet.com/

Reportedly, ABC had problems processing so many tx, so the Satoshi Gun was pointed at SV nodes only.

Why? Was the bottleneck found?

I don't know. Even now, there is a miniscule amount of txs on the ABC chain and up to 10Mbyte on the SV

I can't find anything in the source code of SV that should have made performance better from the ABC code it forked from. I think the reason is that the SV network hasn't .....

That's certainly been an issue on this end. 5v - 0.2 AMP just didn't cut it. All nodes on PI's with crappy USB power are in reboot loops.

I adore CoinGeek and nChain for having such good infrastructure handling gigantic blocks. Other miners could learn from them.

My assumption is that most of the transactions are being generated directly at the miners and therefore don't have to propagate. I have no proof though.

No, the Satoshi Shotgun guy starts 300(?) independent node instances around the world to send txs through, according to what he said somewhere here.

Link me if you got it. Thanks.

I think not, since you can see a difference in the mempools of the two networks on this website: https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#2,24h
