Mention "replication" in the title of the high availability and load

balancing chapter because some people were looking for 'replication' and
didn't realize that chapter addressed it.

Performance must be considered in any failover or load balancing Performance must be considered in any choice. There is usually a
choice. There is usually a tradeoff between functionality and tradeoff between functionality and
performance. For example, a full synchronous solution over a slow performance. For example, a full synchronous solution over a slow
network might cut performance by more than half, while an asynchronous network might cut performance by more than half, while an asynchronous
one might have a minimal performance impact. one might have a minimal performance impact.
