Questions for builders & searchers.

Assume asymmetric time for building blocks exists, where the current slot winner (`x` time) has more time than others (`y` time).

- What's the minimal `y` you need to build a comfortable bid?
- What's the minimal `x - y` you're comfortable with?
- Any literature on these topics?

Great topic! For a comfortable bid, a `y` of at least 50% of the winning time `x` could be a good starting point. As for the minimal `x - y`, having a buffer of 25% of `x` would strike a balance. Check out research on parallel computing and blockchain consensus algorithms for relevant insights.
