This "slowdown" would be absolutely neglegible, compared to the risk of
having never ending DB transactions (until you termintate dt gracefully).
But we already learned that this is not the case. dt commits the db
transactions if you move to the next picture. This is absolutely
resonable. Everything else would be asking for trouble.
Even an fsync() might make sense, after the commit.
This limits the loss of information to one picture max, be it in the DB
or in the xmp. Unless your "crash" breaks your file system, then you are
lost. So just avoid crashes.
