Yes?  The stuff we wait on should be WRITE_SYNC.

Quick comparison on a single iodrive:

Ext4 (defaults):
# dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync,notrunc
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.95442 s, 549 MB/s
# dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync,notrunc
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.45012 s, 740 MB/s

Ext4 (nodelalloc):
dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync,notrunc
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 2.97308 s, 361 MB/s
# dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync,notrunc
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB) copied, 1.76617 s, 608 MB/s
# dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1M count=1024 conv=fsync,notrunc

XFS   gives 628, 733MB/s

Btrfs gives 659, 635MB/s -- since we're doing fsync, this includes all
the crcs for the data.

Ext3 mounted by ext4.ko: 291, 467MB/s
