Pardon my pedantry, but CQRS doesn't necessitate eventual consistency. Denormalization of domain events into can happen synchronously. It all depends on the needs of the project. If the project information architecture and processes can support a degree of latency (which is implicit in almost any technology providing static screens anyway), then the performance gains of eventual consistency can be realized.

A good, nuanced explanation of CQRS is here: http://codeofrob.com/entries/cqrs-is-too-complicated.html
