The process that deposits records, runs the trigger, and does not return
from the record operation until the trigger ends. This is synchronous.

The journal would run a totally separate process for the receive from the
journal, so the act of changing the member would be independant of and
therefore asynchronous from the process of receiver data. Two separate jobs
without any dependancy on the completion of one for the continuation of the
other.

In other words, the act of changing the member completes and goes on it's
merry way, and the processing of the resultant journal entry could happen in
the next second or the next week, depending upon design and performance of
the platform.
