+	 * to commit a transaction, and compare it with how long this
+	 * transaction has been running, and if run time < commit time then we
+	 * sleep for the delta and commit.  This greatly helps super fast disks
+	 * that would see slowdowns as more threads started doing fsyncs.

 	 * single process is doing a stream of sync writes.  No point in waiting
