How Fast Can We Propagate Transactions?
I'm just curious. How many transactions, maybe per second does a node deal with or maybe I don't know what your timeframe is? Yes.

So like if a node picks up just a different transaction from a mempool and then it's also sending its own transactions, it would prioritize its local transactions over that. Even if you're paying a smaller fee, like your local note will send your transaction transactions first. But it doesn't mean that they propagate like faster in the network because the other end that is receiving that transaction, they don't really have that information that they are not of a higher priority
