I haven't been paying attention to this thread, but this comment caught my eye. I had a setup at a previous job where the primary and DR datacenters were at opposite ends of the county making the network latency high enough that WALs piled up on the master. What we did was to archive the WALs locally (to the master) in a dedicated volume, then rsync'd them in batches of 50 or so. It made a big difference for us, as we were generating around 100 WAL segments per minute IIRC. I think the latency was around 46ms and during bursts we would fall behind quite a bit.
