If replication is slow on all of the nodes, I would check to see if there is
some connection keeping pg_listener from being cleaned out. 

Try running a vacuum verbose on pg_listener on the origin node and see if
there are lots of dead rows that can't be removed. If there are, then you need
to check pg_stat_activity for some long transaction that's causing the
problem.

Also, I am interested in your mrtg graphing of replication lag. It's a project
that I've been meaning to look into. Would you mind sharing your mrtg 
configuration?
