Hi!

I have no data, and definitely not qualified to make a case, but had simply run into this little mention in this article [1] where it said:

“Fortunately for Bitcoin, the cost of verifying signatures is also incredibly small. With libsecp256k, this takes only a few microseconds per signature on modern hardware.

The reason that the cost of verifying signatures is so small, is that they need to download them anyway.” (←their italics)

It seems to be implying that it‘s network-constrained, and so with Dash being based on Bitcoin, I didn’t know whether it was a similar situation or not.
