This is an important observation, because we always write blocks one tx at a time. Within the tx allocations are singular for each table, so if there are 1000 output rows, that's one row allocation. But there is no good reason to not do this at block level. That would reduce write contention by 3 orders of magnitude, as there are thousands (10^3) of txs in a block. This will then allow the thread count to go up, possibly to the physical limit. And I think at this point we become network limited in milestone potentially up to 10Gbps.
