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?
