@TimSheard and @dnadales So, what is the future of this PR? Do we want to switch the behavior of the pulser or was this just an experiment that we n o longer need to pursue?

If we could change the behaviour of the pulser, that might help us reduce the number of leadership checks missed in block-producing nodes, so I'd say it makes sense to run a benchmark with a pulser that does not need to be evaluated when taking snapshots.

If we have a ledger version to integrate with Consensus, I can run the benchmarks.
