Yeah, a bgwriter progression is running now. I don't expect it to make
much difference. Most of sync impact is syncing the FS cache, which the
bgwriter doesn't touch.

I can't relate that to the performance numbers, unfortunately. I think
that the paging is probably the cause, but I don't know what to do about
it.
