I agree in so much as my point was strictly focused on ordering
constraints imposed for consistency reasons.

softupdates is not a performance mechanism per se; it is a 
mechanism to allow async writes of fs data occur in a consistent 
fashion.

Anyways, you can easily resolve this issue by mounting async with
softupdates disabled and then repeating the test.
