I think you should explain when you think this happens in your proposal.
Are you saying that you think the standby should send back one message
for every transaction? That you do not think we should buffer the return
messages?
You seem to be proposing a design for responsiveness to a single
transaction, not for overall throughput. That's certainly a design
choice, but it wouldn't be my recommendation that we did that.
