It depends on what we mean by synchronous. Do we mean "the WAL record
has made it to the disk on the slave system," or "the WAL record has
been applied on the slave system"?
With this type of replication there will always be a difference for some
small window, but most people would expect that window to be very small
for synchronous replication.
