That helps clarify the scenario - a few more followup questions, if you don’t mind. I’m trying to sort out if there’s something else going on in the sequence of the updates that’s causing the difference in performance, aside from just the Sync Gateway split.
- When you say the pushes are ‘done first as highest priority’ - are you actually giving the push replication any priority from the client side? Or do you just mean that there’s a SG node dedicated solely to push replications?
- Are all your clients making the same change to the docs they pull (so that duplicates get ignored), or is the expected result 500 docs with ~498 conflicts per doc?
