CoinVoice has recently learned that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on social media: 'I believe the ideal solution is to implement deep but selective cuts to Gas fees:'

Reduce the gas cost of all EVM opcodes currently in the range of 2-5 to 1, and reduce those in the range of 6-10 to 2. Reduce the gas cost of log operations by 4 times. Lower the gas cost of precompiled contracts (except for those we plan to deprecate).

In this way, it may be possible to increase TPS by 1.5 times without compromising any 'key worst-case' metrics (such as calldata size, IO).
