+Flush the data on a commit, but skip the sync of the meta page. This mode is
+slightly faster than doing a full sync, but can potentially lose the last

+Use a writable memory map instead of just read-only. This speeds up write operations

+When using a writable memory map and performing flushes on each commit, use an
