Didn’t notice an increase on missed slot leader checks, it’s pretty much the same for me.
I noticed that it mostly happens when we are at mid epoch but it’s not always the same. Some epochs i have 0, others i have like 30 and others like 90 the whole epoch(not counting the ones on epoch change).
They can’t be entirely avoided but you can read this to make things better No more missed slots (during epoch) after changing one setting
