We're in beta - it's better to test WAL to find/fix bugs than make
further improvements.
Also, I've run test with 100 clients inserting records into 100 tables
(to minimize contentions) - 915 tps with fsync and 1190 tps without fsync.
So, we do ~ 18 commits per fsync now and probably we'll be able to
increase commit performance by ~ 30%, no more.
