This isn’t true. Aside from when using the default superuser, only CRM::getAllRoles reads at QUORUM (because the resultset would include the default superuser if present). This is only called during execution of a LIST ROLES statement and isn’t on the login path. From the driver log you can see that the actual authentication exchange happens quickly, so I’d say that the problem described in CSHARP-436 is a more likely candidate. > Sadly, this recommendation is out of date / incorrect.
