Is its performance any better? Diem was topping out at 24 tps, which is dismal for a permissioned blockchain.

0L transaction load today is quite low (see : https://0l.interblockcha.in/) so I'm not sure it's known what the current capacity is, but I'd expect this work : https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmegyuTcvDJG94PaLGGErEmH6Bm... to be continued in the 0L project. Useful throughput is obviously a core feature of a BFT chain.
24 is not very good. I just want to point out that a lot of chains that report high tps are cheating in one way or another. I won’t name names but some of the “highest throughput” chains count their node synchronization messages as transactions, not transactions written to the ledger. It’s really disappointing when you understand the games they’re playing.

Real tps has to be tx written to the ledger per second. Anything else is dishonest.
