We don't really have anything to manage resources in the short term on the time scale of blocks (seconds to minutes)

I agree in terms of long-term growth. But for really efficient usage, a "short term" market maker can "plan" resources on peak times the most efficient way. Sure that's an ultra-complex thing and maybe it's not needed, but I think the idea is not that bad.

Maybe with a buffer system - delayed transactions, but cheaper. The idea is not for today's usage, it could be useful with 100x more transactions :)

It's only to allow a smooth usage with "fair and efficient pricing".

Btw, I would be really interested in your ideas :)
