Do you happen to know if it is using fsync, fdatasync or O_SYNC?  I'm
seeing performance regressions on 2.4 fsync versus 2.2 which I'm
chasing right now, but fdatasync doesn't seem to have that problem
(and fdatasync is always preferable if you are updating a file in
place and you don't care about the mtime timestamp being 100%
uptodate).

Cheers,
 Stephen
