core: reduce CPU load by reducing calls to checkQueue

* Reduced maxQueue count
* Added proper deletion past maxQueue limit
* Added cheap stats method to txpool

queueCheck was called for **every** transaction instead of:
1. add all txs
2. check queue

previously

1. add txs[i]
2. check queue
3. if i < len(txs) goto 1.
