Usogres just flat didn't work well for us, and it introduces another
program that could cause the system to fail.

We use rserv here at work as well.

I'm going to be posting some commentary to doing replication with rserv
to the list soon. We recently set up 2 database servers to do
replication with it, and I must say after our initial little hiccups we
have had nothing but good luck with it. I heartily recommend even the
rserv in contrib, if you don't have/want to shell out the dollars for
the commercial version. If you have any problems, post up your question
and it very likely can be answered.
We actually haven't found any slowdown caused by it, and 250k inserts
per day, depending on how the inserts are spread out really aren't that
many.
