I'm implementing a new testing mode that produces blocks
periodically. You can get what I have so far here:
https://github.com/jtimon/bitcoin/tree/timed
It depends on pull request #3824 with some improvements on
CChainParams, but after that the changes required to add this new
mode are very
So my question to the community is, how invasive is this to bitcoin's
source code?
I'd say not very considering you have regression testing mode.

2) If I wanted to measure validation performance, to get the number of
peak tps that could be processed without taking block sides or network
latency into account, how would I do that? Has anybody tried this
before?
You can just reindex/replay the chain. It's been done many times.

Not necessarily. Running a private server involves listening to the p2p
network for incoming transactions, performing validation on receipt and
organizing a mempool, performing transaction selection, and relaying
blocks to auditors - none of which is tested in a reindex.
A reindex would give you

So it seems a new mode only makes sense if the -private mode makes
sense, which in turn only makes sense to include in bitcoind if it's
useful enough for the network attack simulations, which remains the
open question.
Thank you for all the explanations on how to use regtest to reproduce
the example scenarios.
It seems like a private mode wouldn't be particularly helpful for
testing so I won't create a pull request and will just work on the
private chains separately from bitcoind.
Going back to chainparam modes
