rotation to fsync again. One idea is to write the WAL to different
offsets that might reduce the rotational delay.
* Allow buffered WAL writes and fsync
Instead of guaranteeing recovery of all committed transactions, this
would provide improved performance by delaying WAL writes and fsync
so an abrupt operating system restart might lose a few seconds of
committed transactions but still be consistent. We could perhaps
remove the 'fsync' parameter (which results in an an inconsistent
database) in favor of this capability.

might be dropped or truncated during crash recovery [walcontrol]
