We don't always have control over what the user does.  I think the
worst-case for my users involves a third-party program (that they're
not willing to modify) that does line-buffered writes in append mode.
This uses nearly all of the CPU on per-RPC overhead (each write is
three RPCs: GETATTR, WRITE, COMMIT).
