Perhaps this is a dumb question, but are you looking at the
right database?

If you have FORCED WRITES ON, then data changes should be
written to the disk.

Regarding the speed issue. Make sure that you are using
parametrized queries and a "hard" commit and not a "soft"
commit (= commit retaining) when committing data changes.

How does the database header page looks like if things
are getting slower? You should especially have a look
at the counters of the oldest/oldest active/next
transaction.
