I believe the consistency level is only expected to have a significant impact on latency (and throughput if you have a client who's write throughput is limited by latency). Since the writes will still happen at the appropriate replication level, the total number of writes having to be processed by the cluster should remain the same. -- / Peter Schuller aka scode
