Simply, during test I'm generating series of numbers that I'm periodicaly
checking on both master and stand by server.

Also I'm measuring several server metrics, like CPU usage, disk usage, network
bandwidth.

When testing streaming replication network usage does not get over 1Mbps and
catching master takes several tens of minutes, while during test of WAL file
shipping, network usage get to 3-5Mpbs and stand by server does not fall
behind master more than several seconds.

There is no other traffic on stand by server, only periodical check of test
table (SELECT * FROM status) every 2s. Extension of this check interval does
not affect behavior of streaming replication.
