Nostr Web Client

This morning, I have an idea for Nostr Proxy.

Is it required for the proxy to validate schnorr signatures for each events?

Because stored events in relays are already validated and client validate events too when getting them.

So... is it required for the proxy to validate them?

Schnorr signature validation is really CPU intensive. It validates ~5000 events/min when opening 7 global feeds.

I will start with caching validated events. It's not useful to validate signature of an already validated event.

If it's still to CPU intensive, I'll give up schnorr validation

I have disabled schnorr signature validation and... It works!

I have some peak at 100%+ sometimes, but it's under 10-20% all the time
