Got it, thx.

Can we suppose scenarios when even 20-50 ms delay on commit is unacceptable?
If so, may I suggest that a zero config option means no group commit? Or
perhaps we may introduce isc_tpb_no_group_commit causing transaction to
flush its buffers immediately?

Do you want to reuse the cache writer thread for this purpose or add a new
one?
