I've got a nice little paragraph sitting on the config page in Futon (good enough, I think) For the strongest consistency guarantees, <tt>delayed_commits</tt> should be set to <tt>false</tt>. The default value of <tt>true</tt> is designed for single-user performance. For more details see the CouchDB wiki on Delayed Commits. The only issue is that there is no such wiki page (or at least I can't find one.) Anyone care to summarize the full-commit tradeoff in a user-friendly way? If you are up for doing that, but aren't up to editing the wiki, even just replying to this thread with the language would be helpful, and then I can put the page up and I'll add this documentation to trunk for 1.0 Chris
