Ok given your response, this is my understanding of how the WAL works:
When you begin a transaction, all your changes write to the in-memory WAL buffer, and that buffer flushes to disk when:
a) Somebody commits a synchronous transaction
b) The WAL buffer runs out of space
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

to disk, and there's only one. You can think of it as getting the
flush for free from the first transaction, since the single flush
covered the requirements of both transactions.
