I cannot tell you the exact mimeo behaviour, but if you incremental
replication using an id/timestamp  by >pulling< changes from the
masters, you will normally batch them and insert all the changes to
the slaves in a single transaction, which leads to less load as many
times your limit is in transaction rate, not record rate. (i.e., every
5 minutes you query for all the tuples changed, and insert/update them
all in one go ) ( Also, if tuples are updated many times between
sweeps the slave will get only one )
