Schmuckenschläger's reverse Faber–Krahn bound

From papers

Let KRnK\subset\mathbb{R}^n be a convex body, and let ΛFK(K)\Lambda_{\mathrm{FK}}(K) be its normalized minimal first Dirichlet eigenvalue. Schmuckenschläger's reverse Faber–Krahn bound. There is a universal constant CC such that, for every convex body KRnK\subset\mathbb{R}^n,

ΛFK(K)Cn.\Lambda_{\mathrm{FK}}(K)\le Cn.

The source states that this conjecture appeared in Schmuckenschläger's work and that it would imply all convex bodies in Faber–Krahn position have comparable normalized first Dirichlet eigenvalues; its validity remains open in the supplied material.
