Read-through + local bench; results match others which I have seen. This PR restores cache locality in the compact-block reconstruction hot path and adds a well focused benchmark.

* Reverts the “vector of `CTransactionRef`” refactors and restores a cache-friendly layout for reconstruction.
* `InitData` again takes `std::vector<std::pair<Wtxid, CTransactionRef>> extra_txn`, causing the wtxid to be available without dereferencing in the hot loop.

Due to low mining difficulty on Signet, an attacker can grind all possible nonces of a block header and create valid[^valid], alternative headers for Signet blocks.

### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [x] I have searched the existing issues

### Current behaviour

I'm on Bitcoin Core v29.0.0

I noticed that when at the max number of peers (124 total; 10 outbound; 114 inbound) the most recent peer connection is continually dropped after 1 second and another peer is selected. I can't imagine this is good behavior for the network.

As you can see, my peer count is very high (basically == number of seconds I've been at 124 peers) and the most recent pee

thanks, hit me up when you reproduce it; I am having trouble disintangling if the issue is P2A, or ephemeral dust, or something else.

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/33267#issuecomment-3233540722)
This is likely normal behavior and not a bug. What you are seeing is Bitcoin Core's inbound connection eviction in action. When a new inbound connection comes in, another connection may be closed in favor of it. This avoids an attacker filling all of your inbound connections in an attempt to eclipse you from the network. The inbound eviction algorithm takes care to protect certain peers from being disconnected - you can find details [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/6ca6f3b37b992591
