If syncfs(2) is not present, we have to use sync(2).  That means you have 
N daemons calling sync(2) to force a commit on a single fs, but all other 
mounted fs's are also synced... which means N times the sync(2) calls.

Fortunately syncfs(2) has been around for a while now, so this only 
affects really old distros.  And even when glibc does not have a syscall 
wrapper for it, we try to call the syscall directly.
