according to this we write the metadata first  and then the directory 
block and
then the file data..

This is just wrong. In softupdates you want to have your data down 
before you do
your metadata write,  and you need to have your directory block written 
last of all.
When I committed the softupdates code for Kirk, I think that the numbers 
were:
data in 10 seconds, metadata in 15 and directory block in 20.
