Current master allocates a lot of unnecessary big integers when comparing gas prices.
Since the tx_list (part of the txpool) relies heavily on comparing transactions by gas price, this does ~1.6% of all allocations unnecessarily.
This PR directly compares the inner gas prices without creating a new big int in the process
