Please show us how you do the benchmark.

I think this is suspicious, more below.

Thanks for copying me Peter.

We should have already avoided the duplicated syncing with
vhost_dev_should_log()? Or anything I miss here?

This will lose some syncs when the device is not the logger device
(see vhost_dev_should_log())?
