No difference.  24 hours' uptime, patch applied and all file systems
mounted async:

des@des /usr/src% vmstat -m | grep FFS
 256  UFS mount, FFS node, newblk, IpFw/IpAcct, routetbl, ifaddr, BPF,
     FFS node 71741 17936K  17938K 85338K  1341645    0     0  256

and running sync(8) causes the machine to hang and ignore keystrokes
and mouse movements for about a second, just like before.
