It seems theoretically possible to interleave the processing on both sides but 50% reduction in throughput for latency bound transactions seems to be broadly advertised as what to reasonably expect for sync rep with 9.1. 9.2 beta is arriving shortly and when it does I suggest experimenting with the new remote_write feature of sync_rep over non-production workloads. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
