hm, fsync.

Aside: why the heck do applications think that their data is so important
that they need to fsync it all the time.  I used to run a kernel on my
laptop which had "return 0;" at the top of fsync() and fdatasync().  Most
pleasurable.

But wedging for 20 minutes is probably excessive punishment.

I most wonder, why vim fsyncs its swapfile regularly (blocking typing during that) and doesn't fsync the resulting file on :w :-/
