If you don't have a crash then there is absolutely no difference from
the clients' point of view (besides speed).

If you have a crash you could lose the last 200ms of commits but if
that happens you'll lose them in a "consistent" way. You can't find
the results of one transaction committed afterwards but not some other
transaction which came earlier.
