The cost of a call to sync() adds up quickly and especially for HDDs. Playing around generating chunks for a while warranted a 3 min save time on a HDD. This is unacceptable default behaviour and now the behaviour is hidden behind a flag for server owners who are OK with taking a hit on saves (although SSDs will not have this issue remotely as bad, since most of the time was spent seeking).
