What I find really strange is this comment from one of the lead developers of the Catapult version:
"The Catapult public chain will support higher TPS than the NEM public chain (~2 TPS)
but it will not natively support the 4000 TPS number that is thrown around so often."

I mean NEM itself is Throwing around this number 0f 4000 tps! on this page for example
https://nem.io/investors/What hell is up with people and their inability to digest simple groupings of words?
Direct quote from the very same page -
Mijin, NEMs permissioned ledger can ensure over 4,000 tps and supports full interaction with NEMYou can easily test a private chain. There's never been a figure for public Catapult because they don't know yet because it's, y'know, dependent on thousands of strangers. 100 tps has been thrown around as a ballpark.
