I've already replaced that question with one asking about what kind of performance one could expect, and answered it with the standard "it depends" answer. I moved it to the general "Getting Started" section. At some point it would be good to add some commentary about the resulting throughput degradation (which is why I kept the question open-ended about "performance", instead of "latency"). - Ted
