"if" wal_level is set high. If it's set to minimal it would be "simple" fsyncs,
right? I mean: if it's at minimal it wouldn't take long, and it basically won't
re-write any data. This would be very useful for data that it's not "that
important", but that at the same time can be made "persistent" if needed...

Am I wrong? (I'm not too familiar with WAL...)
