Mark, Your throughput of your total cluster will still be dependent on the throughput on that specific node: It can coordinate requests, but stays responsible for the actual response to the client.
Load balancers not only help to increase performance by fanning out the requests to multiple servers, it will also increase the availability of your cluster in terms of client to server connections.

What is the advantage of fronting a Riak cluster with a load-balancer?
