bijou only briefly patched out the 1-second forced sync. What it has
had since the beginning is much larger buffers in
ThreadedFileWriter.cpp:

-const uint ThreadedFileWriter::TFW_DEF_BUF_SIZE   = 2*1024*1024;
-const uint ThreadedFileWriter::TFW_MAX_WRITE_SIZE = TFW_DEF_BUF_SIZE / 4;
-const uint ThreadedFileWriter::TFW_MIN_WRITE_SIZE = TFW_DEF_BUF_SIZE / 32;
+const uint ThreadedFileWriter::TFW_DEF_BUF_SIZE   = 64*1024*1024;
+const uint ThreadedFileWriter::TFW_MAX_WRITE_SIZE = TFW_DEF_BUF_SIZE / 32;
+const uint ThreadedFileWriter::TFW_MIN_WRITE_SIZE = TFW_DEF_BUF_SIZE / 256;

I haven't pushed out a bijou for 0.24 since it incorporated so many of
bijou patches but am hoping to do so in the next few weeks, with Ron
Frazier's Ceton work as its main attraction.
