I had a asked the question of how much better is outbox than a static relay list two years ago.
No dev was interested to answer, so I did the benchmarks to find out.
Found one bug in an existing outbox implementation, and got some results on comparing outbox algos.
It is useful for me, and I will be happy if the study provides value to a single dev. Either way is fine, although I hope for the latter.
