I guess that was deliberate because most users assume that if they hit |
| 7 |
save on their document and the screen says "saved", then they can rip |
| 8 |
the stick out after a few seconds (that's how windows works after |
| 9 |
all...). So based on the principle of least surprise I guess sync is a |
| 10 |
sensible choice for the masses? |

What would be a compromise is if it's possible to set the sync time per |
| 13 |
device? Although isn't a flush implicit every 5 secs anyway on a |
| 14 |
default kernel? |
