Likely. I believe counter mutations are a tad more expensive than a normal mutation. If you're doing a lot of counter updates that probably doesn't help. Regardless, high amounts of pending reads/mutations is generally not good and indicates the node being overloaded. Are you just seeing this on the 1 node with IO issues or do other nodes have this problem as well?
