To be completely practical, I'm saying that we should apply & test
Simon's latest patch moving the delay calculation to be application lag
instead of standby lag.
I'm also suggesting that we should have a standby lag option for 9.1 (as
well as, probably, a "wait forever" option ala Tom's suggestion).
