Description

As far as I understand it Stellar produces many blocks per minute, usually closing a ledger every 5-6 seconds.

I've tried to use the `lunch.go` script with a quorum config with around 36 nodes, the first slot externalizes fast, but slot 2 takes a very long time (over a minute).

Here's the quorum config I've used: https://gist.github.com/AndrejMitrovic/f59a0e47e6a0c1fe8be74e690ff60eb6

Research direction

Start with lunch.go and reproduce the reported delay using the linked 36-node quorum configuration. Compare slot 2 externalization with the stated 5–6-second ledger cadence; done means identifying the cause of the over-one-minute delay or documenting why this implementation behaves differently.
