Attached is a speedup patch for 2.4.19-pre7 that should help your fsync
operations a little. (From Chris Mason).
Filesystem cannot do very much at this point unfortunatelly, it is ending up
waiting for disk to finish write operations.

Also we are working on other speedup patches that would cover different areas
of write perfomance itself.

Bye,
