I've talked to some of my clients, and while they *want* synch or
near-synch HS, even slow HS is useful to them *now*.
One client is planning on deploying a rather complex FS cloning
infrastructure just to have a bunch of reporting, testing and read-only
search databases they need. They'd be thrilled with an HS feature which
produced DBs which were an hour out of date (or even 6 hours out of
date), but ran read-only queries.
