While investigating Simon's complaint about my patch of a few days
ago, I discovered that synchronous replication appears to slow to a
crawl if fsync is turned off on the standby.

I'm not sure why this is happening or what the right behavior is in
this case, but I think some kind of adjustment is needed because the
current behavior is quite surprising.
