Vitalik: I hope that more developers working on ZK and FHE can express performance in the form of ratios instead of computing volume per second

According to online reports, Vitalik posted on the X platform,"I hope that more developers who do ZK (zero-knowledge proof) and FHE (fully homomorphic encryption) can express performance in terms of ratios (such as" encryption calculation time/raw calculation time "), rather than just saying," We can do N operations per second." This approach is less hardware-dependent and provides a very useful indicator: How much efficiency do I sacrifice when I change my application from "relying on trust" to "relying on cryptography"? It is also usually more suitable for performance estimation, because as a developer, I already know how much time the raw calculation takes, and I can estimate performance by directly multiplying the cost ratio. (Yes, I know it's not easy because the types of operations between execution and proof are different, especially in terms of SIMD/parallelization and memory access methods, so even the overhead ratio is partially hardware dependent. But even so, I still think the "spending multiplier" is a very valuable indicator, even if it is not perfect.)"
