Performance of what? I'm not asking for a cache flush, I'm just asking for write(/dev/hda1) being identical (would it be working or non-working) to write(/dev/hda+appropriate sector offset). Nothing more, nothing less. This has nothing to do with whether there is a mounted filesystem in the given partition. It is only the presence of the mounted filesystem shows the difference.
Of course, /dev/md is another problem entirely.
