This is an interesting point, and it makes me wonder if
there would be interest having the fsync behavior vary on
a per-transaction basis instead of a per-storage basis.
Maybe the client submitting transactions that are just
Session-like changes could include a message to the server
indicating that this transaction is not precious.
