I'm not lying but I'm starting to feel the entire $ETH network just gotten drastically faster and smooth.

could this be caused by the very recent 'Ethereum Pectra upgrade?

or could this be caused by the recent ETH prices going up?

I know it sounds like I'm acting funny and exaggerating on words (I swear to you not) it is true, try swapping on your favorite Jumper or Stargate or do some simple staking/withdraws.

I truly mean what I say, it's like the transactions got drastically improved. (or at least I 'feel' like so)
