How Does the Gas Limit Relate to Block Propagation Time?

A higher gas limit generally leads to larger blocks, which in turn increases the time it takes for a block to propagate across the peer-to-peer network. Longer propagation times can increase the chance of 'uncle' or 'orphan' blocks, which reduces network efficiency and security, especially in PoW systems.
