Again, not data integrity (Error correction) but consistency (aCid). Adding two milliseconds to a half a millisecond operation is by no means cheap...

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 6 hours ago

But adding it to an 80ms operation is. If your operation is 0.5ms it's either a read on a small table, or maybe a single write -- transaction isolation wouldn't even be relevant there. You're right that I did mean consistency rather that integrity though, slip of the terminology, but not really worth quibbling over. The point I meant was that I like my data to make sense, a funny quirk of mine.
