If you application requires you to analyze blocks it would be great to make use of Bloom filters.

Bloom filters enable you to test with little effort, if the Block content might be relevant for your application. They key feature: You might get some false positives (which you would eliminate in a subsequent request on the block data), but you don't require to process the full data of any block, as false negatives are not possible.

In order to implement bloom filters you need to have a passion for bytes and math.

Anyone does?
