FYI, I beefed up the testing for this in test_fsync:
Compare open_sync with different write sizes:
(This is designed to compare the cost of writing 16k
in different write open_sync sizes.)
1 16k open_sync write 723.824 ops/sec
2 8k open_sync writes 347.979 ops/sec
4 4k open_sync writes 215.114 ops/sec
8 2k open_sync writes 174.613 ops/sec
16 1k open_sync writes 87.496 ops/sec
