I also implemented replication for the same reasons, and feel the same
way. My application was barely usable over the WAN... Now, using
replication of course, it's not so big a problem: a complete replication
cycle usually takes somewhere between 30 and 60 seconds (though,
obviously, it does vary a lot in both directions). But even if/when it's
a bit slower (a couple minutes), it doesn't make any significant
difference for my customer, since they aren't using the application
directly over the WAN. Still, I agree that the remote protocol is
something that ought to get looked at.
