Vitalik Buterin: “I think my ideal is deep but selective cuts:

* reduce the gas cost of every EVM opcode that's currently in the 2-5 range to 1, and in the 6-10 range to 2
* cut gas cost of log by 4x
* cut gas cost of precompiles (except the ones we want to retire)

Can probably get 1.5x TPS without worsening any "critical worst case" numbers (eg. calldata size, IO) at all”
