Ok. I suppose you are right. It sounds a bit odd to me too.  However, 
splitting my replog file in smaller slices and slurping them didn't 
result the behaviour I was describing in my previous email.  That's why 
I wanted to know if anyone else has seen similar behaviour on their systems.

I think I could try this. On a different system though, since I can't 
risk my master and slave servers with this kind of experiments.
