[ZODB-Dev] Anybody using ZODB with no calls to fsync in production?

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. Will I regret it?
