Hm, OK.   But, isn't this actually a bad sign? Currently recovery of 2pc often 
already is a bigger bottleneck than the workload on the master, because replay 
has to execute the fsyncs implied by statefile  re-creation serially, whereas 
on the master they'll usually be executed in parallel. So, if I understand 
correctly this patch would widen that gap?

Anyway, as evidenced here, review on a phone isn't efficient, and that's all i 
have access to right now. Please wait till at least tomorrow evening, so I can 
have a meaningful look.

Andres
