I'm watching this feature too, but at this time, not so much
docs are
out for public reading.

In mid 2007, on Pg lists, there was reports about 100% speed
improvement
with HOT ! But was internals tests only and pgbench based
(not real
world).

I'll keep an eye on this, and maybe start a test server.

More informations on this on the developper's wiki :
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Replication,_
Clustering,_and_Connection_Pooling

CyberCluster is supported by one man, and provide a nice
solution on the
top of PGCluster :
http://pg
foundry.org/projects/cybercluster/

and :
http://www.cybertec.at/english/pr_cybercluster_e.html

Also, there is a good mature project :
http://pgpool.
projects.postgresql.org/

I've only played with Slony-I few years ago, and this
introduce a very
high load and latency on systems, so we havent not pushed it
in
production.
