But any sync _replication_ system will have severe impact on
performance. My guess is that for a full sync replication, going from 1
server to 2 will actually lower performance andsome small gains would be
possible only starting from 3rd server.
This has nothing to do with postgreSQL, but is just due to latencies of
memory, disk and network and the need to do remote locking.
My quess is based on using standard 100Gb ethernet. It may be possible
to do better on some more advanced interconnects like myrinet.
