Hi,

looking for the way how to increase performance at Windows XP box, I found
the parameters

#fsync = true # turns forced synchronization on or off
#wal_sync_method = fsync # the default varies across platforms:
# fsync, fdatasync, open_sync, or open_datasync

I have no idea how it works with win32. May I try fsync = false, or it is
dangerous? Which of wal_sync_method may I try at WinXP?

Regards,
E.R.
