Hi

Already done (see below).

A brief report of the outcome of my measurements is in this email of mine on the same thread:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg101430.html

In short, application start-up time happened to be about the same with and without writeback throttling (actually slightly higher with throttling, for, e.g., gnome-terminal).

Thanks,
Paolo
