Streams == Advanced Replication; what reduction? Streams is more advanced (it does support more datatypes and different cases), so undoubtedly it will use more bandwidth.

I fail to see Streams choking a WAN, though, unless there are 64kbps lines in the middle... I tend to think WANs are LANs, but stretched.
