Too Long; Didn't Read

It's close to impossible to give an accurate numerical performance estimate of a system that consists of tens and hundreds of computers. A number of tx/sec will not reflect a huge variety of states of a large decentralized network. Blockchains are decentralized systems in which the client performs most of the work. The more we use modern cryptography to confirm correctness of participant behavior, the more this factor affects total blockchain performance. In some cryptographically advanced blockchains, a client can perform calculations that can last for tens of seconds or even minutes.
