> Hundreds of writes per second? Those extra milliseconds become a real bottleneck.

Of course it's nicer if the database can handle it, but if you are doing hundreds of sequential non-pipelined writes per second, there is a good chance that there is something wrong with your application logic.



Not universal, there are systems that need high frequency, low latency, strong consistency, writes.


Yes, but for the majority of those, rhose would be individial transactions per e.g. request, so the impact would be a fixed latency penalty rather than a multiplicative one.
