how efficient is mysql server clustering?

would two clustered servers with frequently changing databases be as fast as
two servers with identical static databases?

my big question is does the clustering take up a lot of resources when database content gets changed alot (for example a 100mb database, 2-5% gets changed in a day). my options are to mirror my one database every 24 hours on another server OR to cluster two servers which would give me dynamic mirroring. i am trying to figure out how much less efficient clustering would be compared to the static back up alternative (to figure out if dynamic mirroring is worth it).
