The choice between BEFORE_IMAGE journaling and NOBEFORE_IMAGE journaling is important especially in a logical multi-site database replication deployment. If an application pushes the I/O bandwidth of the servers on which it runs, NOBEFORE_IMAGE journaling may help obtain more throughput from available servers. BEFORE_IMAGE journaling could be the likely choice if an application requires quicker recovery in the unlikely event of a crash.
