I actually have a pretty bad machine wrt. writeout behavior here (hp nx5000),
so i will test this.
early writeout is right now about ~4-5 seconds faster (it takes ~6-8 seconds
to do the final sync without early writeout).

But this machine also is not really faster with compression enabled. With
compression enabled, i get a flickering disk led during write, without it
is solid on. Since it is a Pentium M 1400, CPU speed should be fast enough
to benefit from compression.

It also was always dog slow with in-kernel suspend.

Short: this machine looks like it is the right candidate for this kind of
benchmark, since i can probably see every small amount of improvement of
writeout speed easily :-)
