It's not that I assume it must be slow, but rather that from experience being slow is a distinct possibility so I know to ask about it. But I also asked about reliability and visibility into the process. The latter is what I'm most curious about.
I'm not meaning to suggest that I have a problem with any of it. It's just that when I see anything P2P that's mutable I start wondering about propagation of changes and ordering of events and how "eventual consistency" presents to end users in practice. Particularly in the face of a node unexpectedly falling off the network.
I realize I could browse the docs but I figure it's better to ask here because others likely have similar questions and we're here to discuss the thing after all.
