This would apply to only a single relation, so would be just as
efficient a write to the database as to WAL. The proposed route is to
sync to the database, but not to WAL, thus halving the required I/O.
Yes, its designed for large data loads.
A question - would setting fsync=off while restoring a multi-gig dump
(during an upgrade) improve performance?
