Subject:   Metadata updated every 30 seconds?

Im showing my lack of FS knowledge here, but why does FreeBSD update the
metadata every 30 seconds instead of on the fly?  On a busy news server having
all disks cease operations to write data out every 30 seconds is quite a hit...

Wouldnt it be "better" to write the data out more frequently in any case?
