Comment 66 for bug 215728

So why do we need to call fsync so many times on the safebrowsing and places/formhistory data in first place? Why are data integrity gurantees required for that sort of data? I mean no big deal if we did an update and the browser crashed - ff is not a database after all and this type of data is not like it is going to cause a lot of problems if it is lost.

I suspect that the problem is sqlite trying to be paranoid - there should be a way to tell it to do relaxed syncs - in a separate low CPU and IO priority (where supported) thread or something like that.
