from man postgres:
   -F     Disable an automatic fsync() call after each trans­             action.   This  option improves performance,
butan             operating system crash while a  transaction  is  in             progress  may  cause  the loss of the
mostrecently             entered data. Without the fsync() call the data  is             buffered  by  the  operating
system,and written to             disk sometime later.
