rotation to fsync again. One idea is to write the WAL to different
offsets that might reduce the rotational delay.
-* Allow buffered WAL writes and fsync
-
- Instead of guaranteeing recovery of all committed transactions, this
- would provide improved performance by delaying WAL writes and fsync
- so an abrupt operating system restart might lose a few seconds of
- committed transactions but still be consistent. We could perhaps
- remove the 'fsync' parameter (which results in an an inconsistent
- database) in favor of this capability.

+* -Allow buffered WAL writes and fsync
* Allow WAL logging to be turned off for a table, but the table
might be dropped or truncated during crash recovery [walcontrol]
