This is a benchmark I performed on the same hardware, for tpc-b.sql,
with a commit_delay of 0 and 4000 for the patch:

There is a rather large improvement in throughput here. Robert
previously complained that our group commit implementation didn't do
very well on that benchmark. This seems to make all the difference.
