Both Slony and Bucardo are transaction based, meaning all 1000 changes
will happen at once, and only when the transaction has committed. In
practice, you'll find that both are surprisingly quick.
With Bucardo, the number of changes may be much less than 1000, as it
is data based, not statement based. Thus, as an extreme example, if
the 1000 statements are all updating a single row, only a single
update (actually a delete/insert) is done on the slave.
