+	 * and wait for the transaction to be committed than it is to
+	 * wait for an arbitrary amount of time for new writers to
+	 * join the transaction.  We achieve this by measuring how
+	 * long it takes 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.
