Or more likely, IME, some consultant tells your users that they could
increase performance by 20% with the method. A few months or even
years later (during which you've raised concerns with the user's
management about the dangers of power loss issues causing data loss
and even corruption of the database, and the consultants have taken
the money and run) the power goes, the UPSes give out after 30 seconds
and the back generators won't start up because the IT management
decided that generator maintenence was too expensive.
Somehow, it's you that lands up carrying the can.
Another reason to practice defensive paper work.
