      A simple workload with a single thread doing updates as fast as possible sees the following:

      • 4.2
        • primary
          • updates: 1200/s
          • log flushes: 300/s
        • secondary
          • batches: 280/s
          • log flushes: 300/s
      • 4.4
        • primary
          • updates: 1250/s
          • log flushes: 10/s; much improved in 4.4 due to PM-1274
        • seccondary
          • batches: 1200/s
          • log flushes: 2400/s; much worse in 4.4 than 4.2, and much higher than primary

      This creates a much higher i/o requirement on the secondary in 4.4, and much higher on the secondary than the primary.

      Two possible issues:

      • Do we need to flush more often on the secondary than the primary?
      • Do we need to do 2 flushes per batch?
