Agreed. Yaron's scheme is magical because it is non-interactive. I send you
a packet of O(expected-delta) and you immediately figure out the delta
without further back and forth communication, each requiring an RTT.

FEC schemes are both fairly complex, because the set is constantly
changing, and (if i understand your suggestion correctly) they add
additional metadata overhead (albeit mostly during tx propagation). Set
reconciliation is near optimal.

In any case, I have no horse here (I think changing the client so it's
multithreaded is the best way to go), but Yaron's work is pretty cool and
may be applicable.
