Well, yes, but you do know about archive_timeout, right? No need to wait 2 hours.

Then you ship 16 MB binary stuff every 30 second or every minute but
you only have some kbyte real data in the logfile. This must be taken
into account, especially if you ship the logfile over the internet
(means: no high-speed connection, maybe even pay-per-traffic) to the
slave.




Sure there's a price to pay. But that doesn't mean the facility doesn't exist. And I rather suspect that most of Josh's customers aren't too concerned about traffic charges or affected by such bandwidth restrictions. Certainly, none of my clients are, and they aren't in the giant class. Shipping a 16Mb file, particularly if compressed, every minute or so, is not such a huge problem for a great many commercial users, and even many domestic users.
