Well to check out the assumption that synchronous updates affect the
performace of normal file copies, I did a simple test:

/bg is mounted normally

 time cp -R /bg/sys /bg/test
0.211u 8.486s 2:56.21 4.9% 62+413k 3634+8707io 3pf+0w

Now with /bg mounted asynchronously:

 /bg > mount
/dev/sd0a on / (local)
/dev/sd0f on /usr (local)
/dev/sd0e on /var (local)
procfs on /proc (local)
/dev/sd1f on /bg (asynchronous, local)
 /bg > time cp -R /bg/sys /bg/test1
0.204u 8.544s 2:51.12 5.1% 63+427k 3669+8706io 0pf+0w

Is only 5 secondes faster...

Amancio
