AFAIK, it depends on the operating system... whenever it decides to
flush HDD buffers. Generally, using forced writes = off is not such a
bad idea if you have stable power supply, operating system and server
dedicated to Firebird, so you're sure nothing else would intervene.

However, I run all my systems with forced writes on. I like to sleep
careless at night ;)
