Solana Urges Caution on 200-Millisecond Slot Time Before Alpenglow

Solana reduced its target slot time from 400 milliseconds to 250 milliseconds while keeping skipped-slot rates stable, but shorter slots have increased voting latency. The network urges caution ahead of the Alpenglow upgrade, as the trade-off between speed and latency could affect performance. Developers are monitoring the impact on consensus.
