The poll answers to your question make no sense. Either you are asking if it is a problem, or you are asking what people think the solution is.
This link will provide some testing results regarding xthin propagation versus standard block propagation. If anybody has links to how XT compact blocks perform, or core compact blocks perform (or if they are the same implementation) then that may make an interesting read.

Topic: Are block propagation delays a problem? (Read 440 times)
Compact / XThin blocks already solved propagation delays.
And even with delays there is a natural limit that is established via a fee market. Now with a blocksizi limit that is distorted off course. In other words if there were no blocksize limit the miners would decide how much a tx cost and only include those into Blocks which have adequate fees.
Thin blocks or similar solutions just make all this more efficient
Compact / XThin blocks already solved propagation delays.
Hi there. New to Bitcoin. I was wondering if the block propagation delays is a problem for Bitcoin? That is, once a miner has solved a block, the time sending that block through to the entire network.
Are there any references on current delay estimates? Also, are there any scaling solutions/proposals that aim to address this if it is an issue.
Thanks!
