I've quickly cobbled together the attached patch (which at least doesn't
seem to crash & burn). It tries to trigger pages being flushed out
during the paced phase of checkpoints instead of the fsync phase. The
sync_on_checkpoint_flush can be used to enable/disable that behaviour.
I'd be interested to hear whether that improves your latency numbers. I
unfortunately don't have more time to spend on this right now :(.
