 talking to people over pidgin, I can see a noticeable performance hit on
 the transfer.

 > File transfers do not use this method, and should not be fsync'ing.  You
 are seeing a different issue, with file transfer, I believe.  We update
 the file transfer dialog every time a read succeeds (or did last time I
 was aware), which is very chatty and resource-intensive.  It needs some
 hysteresis, is all.  This is a different bug.

 Your reading me wrong, it's when I'm doing a file transfer seperate from
 pidgin, if I have pidgin running at the same time and it keeps calling
 fsync it causes huge latency issues.
