However "WriteBehindMaxDelayBeforeSync" doesn't make sense I don't think. When doing write behind, we don't delay the write at all. We just assume that it will take longer because it is on a slow device. The only limit is the number of outstanding write requests. Once this crosses a maximum, all further requests a fully synchronous until the number of outstanding writes drops below the maximum.
