There's no point --- the journal already does an early commit once you
get more than a certain fraction through the journal, and a space
limit rather than a time limit is obviously the right thing to do.
Since the fs is essentially operating out of memory between commits,
even a short commit interval can result in a lot of journal traffic.

They are all much the same. What size of journal are you using? How
much memory? What kernel?
