Hi Branko

Perhaps you have not understood what I had meant. You can disable the
fsync which happens at every transaction commit, using the DB_TXN_NOSYNC
option. But however, when you close the DB, the fsync still happens.

When the DB is opened and closed at every request, the whole point of
DB_TXN_NOSYNC is defeated, as you are literally syncing every small bunch of
transactions per request as they happen. In an active repository, this
keeps the disk constantly busy. Keeping an open connection pool
helps in this case.

I wonder if the sync at DB close can be disabled.
