It may have been much earler in the debate, but has anyone checked to see
what the maximum possible gains might be - or is it self-evident to people
who know the code?

Would it be worth considering creating a test case with no flush in
RecordTransactionCommit, and rely on checkpointing to flush? I realize this
is never an option in production, but is it possible to modify the code in
this way? I *should* give an upper limit on the gains that can be made by
flushing at the best possible time.
