launching GM jobs is too slow

[Maestas, Christopher Daniel]

Quick question ... Why do enable filesync by default if it bites us for
large systems?
It says that it makes things more reliable ... But I don't see the
reasoning.  I would suggest that we disable file system blocking by
default.

The O_Sync issue is already covered by --disable-filesync, but I will
try CVS right now.
