344 exactly. The filesystem cluster is 128 KiB and the average file size
is 380 bytes. The cluster (allocation unit) size is quite large, which
suggests it may not be NTFS, or it is a really humongously huge volume. See:

You're missing the point, Johan ... the "enhancement suggestion" was to
"rethink the commit procedure". Having rethunked it, I suggest the
obvious cheapest solution would be to fix the underlying filesystem. :)
