>Subject: [PATCH] ~factor 40 speedup
>
>First write all files, then sync all filesystems, then move all files.
>The original behavior was very slow for two reasons:
>
> - After every file creation, we had to wait for the harddisk to complete
>   the write.
> - We told the kernel and the harddisk in which order writes should happen.
>
>This reduces the time needed on my harddisk from 44-45s to 0.9-1.4s.
