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

[Marco Bizzarri]

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.

Marco
