You can read what is said about it on PostgreSQL, which has a similar setting. The setting could be very good for (for example) restoring from a backup, where performance is most important and, in case of crash, you have a backup anyway.

Has anybody been using Zope with a ZODB patched to not call fsync since the fsync thread in July 2004: http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zodb-dev/2004-July/007682.html I just took Tim Peters' timefsync.py for a spin on some of our servers and got transaction rates from 4 to 10 times faster, compared to running ZODB with a call to fsync. I'm tempted to deploy ZODB without fsync on some production FileStorage instances.
