No, only changed events produce sync traffic. The more you move events  
around, the more has to be synchronized. What you are trying to do in  
counter productive.

There is a maintenance task for exactly that purpose in the most  
recent Kronolith version.

This will cause all kind of inconsistence data and synchronization state.
