P2P is doing a lot of database lookups

[xgreenx]

When we request transactions for the block, each transaction requires a separate lookup, which is very expensive, considering that transactions are randomly distributed throughout the database(because of randomness of TxId).

Without changing the structure of the db to store full blocks instead of compact blocks, the most practical improvement with minimal changes would be to change this to a multi-get operation.
