What version exactly was this? There was some changes in 8.0.2 in this
area on win32. The default sync method was also changed at this point.
What's the output of "show wal_sync_method"?
Finally, go into device manager, find your disk, get properties, look
under Policies, is the box for "Enable write caching on the disk"
checked?
