getRecentPerformanceSamples

Last updated:

`getRecentPerformanceSamples` returns a list of recent performance samples taken across the cluster. Each sample summarizes the number of transactions and slots that occurred over a fixed `samplePeriodSecs` window (typically 60 seconds), and is taken roughly once per sample period.

This is the canonical way to estimate recent throughput — transactions per second (TPS) and non-vote TPS — without polling individual slots. Divide a sample's `numTransactions` (or `numNonVoteTransactions`) by `samplePeriodSecs` to get the average TPS for that window.

Samples are returned newest-first, **ordered by `slot` descending**. Use the optional `limit` parameter to request fewer than the maximum number of samples.
