throughput of new inserts is cut in half right? I think I was thinking about capacity in more general terms from the node's perspective. The node has the ability to write so many operations per second whether that be a replicated key or not and you could potentially take that number and multiply it by the number of nodes in the ring to give you your write capacity per second.
