.. and we have been telling all our users (all on FB 1.5 on Windows)
they MUST switch forced writes on to help prevent data corruptions, but
some of them refuse to, swearing it is too slow to use if forced writes
are off!

So A. a lot of checking he forced writes option after reports of data
corruption, and
B. a lot of arguments over speed for nothing ;-P

Question: will FB 2.0 (where forced writes is now working) actually have
any effect on either speed or database corruption? Or is the effect
negligible..?
