I don't know exactly either, because I didn't write that code, but only

The quorum server module operates in a very similar way. It has to send
periodic heartbeats to the quorum server, or the quorum server would
take away its quorum. So, in that sense it's very similar. They are
sending packets, and you are doing disk I/O - but both have to do it
periodically, or it won't be able to keep quorum.
I have CCed Huang Zhen, who added the plugin interface for the quorum
modules, and who also wrote the quorum daemon itself.
I suppose I should go read the code, but I'm on traveling with my wife
right now, and until Monday am on holiday.
