I have transactional replication set up between a data center in Mesa, Arizona and a data center in Utah. Mesa acts as the Publisher and Distributor with Utah as the Subscriber. <br />
<br />
The initial transaction comes into the database then gets sent to the distributor because it is marked for replication. Does this initial transaction get delayed at all? I am ok with an 8 second delay between Distibutor to Subsciber but an concerned that my initial transaction might be slowed down. I have an SLA of .3 seconds.

Does sql server 2005 replication slow down my initial transaction before it gets sent to the distributor?
