Why? I was thinking about how journaling is implemented and I can't see an 
INHERENT reason why it would result in more frequent writes to disk (though 
its true you do end up writing more data in the long run since the journal 
itself is extra overhead). Not that I doubt the truth of what you say, I'm 
just curious about the whys and wherefors of it all.
