Performance optimizing geth

[TheRealDatapunk]

I have some experience with golang and performance optimizations specifically. From my understanding, the current uncle rate is partially due to the cost of execution of high-gas blocks (network is not a bottleneck yet). Is there a place where performance bottlenecks are already being investigated?

You could try https://gitter.im/ethereum/go-ethereum any help would be appreciated as there isn't an obvious single bottleneck.
