Would you run like that, if it offered you the potential of maybe 10x faster
write performance?
Absolutely not! DB reliability is crucial to us. Transaction durability
too, esp. since we are using syncrepl in refreshAndPersist mode and
numerous production systems (consumers) are affected.
Thanks for asking!
