There are no exact measurements on how it affects performance.  A lot of it
depends on how aggressively you are re-balancing, size of the cluster,
usage, etc.  A lot of replication will increase the amount of network
traffic going on and disk io.

I have heard of some using it successfully, but it does have some issues,
so I personally wouldn't recommend it beyond experimentation, and small
clusters.
