Because of commit in 7.1 does fsync, with ot without -F
(we can discuss and change this), but in multi-user env
a number of commits can be made with single fsync.
Seems I've described this before?

I was planning to ask why you disabled the -F switch.  Seems to me that
people who trusted their OS+hardware before would still want to do so
in 7.1, and so it still makes sense to be able to suppress the fsync
calls.
