+Subject: [PATCH] Do not overload I/O threads with chunk data while flush
+ saving
+
+If the chunk count is high, then the memory used by the
+chunks adds up and could cause problems. By flushing
+every so many chunks, the server will not become
+stressed for memory. It will also not increase the total
+time to save, as flush saving performs a full flush at
+the end anyways.
