Simple answer - yes.

Complex answer - Once ForcedWrites is off, then windows goes
into very lazy write mode - it doesn't bother to write at
all. The only way to ensure that the data is saved to disk
is close the connection and re-open it.

So what we need to find out is if there is ANY way of
getting windows to save its data in this mode so that it's
at least safer. Personally I've been living with the
performance hit, and we have been changing the servers to
Linux when practical, but there must be something we can do?
