Improving Speed in Simulations

Describe the feature you would like

I'd like to suggest an enhancement for evm sim, focusing on the eth_getStorageAt call functionality. Currently, the approach of individually sending requests for each storage slot can be quite inefficient, especially when dealing with numerous slots for a single address.

A potential improvement could be the implementation of batch or parallel request processing. By allowing multiple eth_getStorageAt requests to be sent in a single call or concurrently, the efficiency and processing time could be significantly improved. This feature would be particularly impactful in simulation environments, offering a substantial boost in performance and a noticeable difference in overall efficiency.

This enhancement could dramatically speed up simulations

However I do agree this would be a significant performance improvement for fork tests, so cc’ing @mattsse @Evalir for visibility

In all this time, the issue has not been taken seriously. This is disappointing @mattsse @Evalir @gakonst @DaniPopes @onbjerg @klkvr
