Description
### What would you like to be added
as title
### Why is this needed
currently the mainnet node syncs at a rate of 3-5 blocks every second, which is not satisfactory. when running a fullnode, sometime can observer the following:
1. this log `dispatcher/dispatcher.go:372 dispatcher block channel is full, drop an event.` will print out, showing the receiving channel has been filled up faster than blocks are drained (committed)
2. sometimes on testnet, it will commit in a batch (you can see from the log) like 20~ blocks, then pause for couple of seconds, then commit the next batch, it seems the blocksync go-routine has a bottleneck/hiccup somewhere
