investigate why there are discrepancy:
- is this due to different hardware

need to work with Probe Lab on this

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing the Probe Lab report and ethresear.ch discussion linked in the issue with Lodestar's reported metrics for v1.21.0. Investigate whether hardware or I/O lag explains the discrepancy, coordinating with Probe Lab; done means the cause is identified and documented.
