the *throughput* is down. For MySQL, you should by all means be more
concerned about the latency.

Be that as it may, halved throughput seems rather severe. Please bear in
mind though: Writing to a disconnected DRBD is not implicitly cheaper
than in the connected case. For one thing, DRBD needs to update the
quicksync bitmap as you're writing unreplicated data. This may cost you
throughput-wise (still, this shouldn't explain a factor 2).

What's your network capable of? What's your maximum throughput in the
connected case?

Cheers,
Felix
