 The replication database is critical to the healthy operation of the replication system, it will perform frequent file syncs and often operates in synchronous IO mode.  If your replication storage system is slow or employs transparent compression it is reccomended that the replication database be stored on a high IOP storage array.  The replication database is typically only a few MB in size, even on very large deployments.
