I forgot to mention that if your insertion speed is simply legitimately faster than compaction, but you have left-over idle CPU on the system, then currently as far as I know you're out of luck. If cassandra gets concurrent compaction support in the future it would be able to sustain a higher write rate in cases where it is currently bottlenecking on the sequential nature of compaction. -- / Peter Schuller
