I see. But I assume the replicators will not make the copy corrupt or update it in incorrect order or something. On a crash, the replication target will be a working copy of the source, but with N transactions missing, where N is "small" but non-zero. Any indication of how large the lag (N) could be? Can it grow without bounds if the server load is high?
