    Funny thing, I was looking in this over the weekend. It currently
    avoids barriers entirely if journal_async_commit is enabled (which is
    not the default); if enabled, it effectively forces barrier=0. This
    is IMHO a bug.

    I'm working on a patch where "barrier=1" will use a barrier before and
    after, and "barrier=1,journal_async_commit" will use a barrier after.
